Chapter 300

[Affirmation from Boss 1]

[Who was it that spread those malicious rumors that our Brother Mu orchestrated this whole thing? I'm asking you, don't you feel ashamed now? Does the God Su need Mu to put on an act for our Mu? Who do you think you are?]

[Wait a minute, I went back and checked, and all the plot points about He Muzhi are saying that He Muzhi was lying to them about this matter, and I didn't see that He Muzhi had more contact with Qin Su than the other people in Class 6). It was all because He Muzhi was lucky? Tsk, as expected of the protagonist, his golden finger is really big. If it were someone else, wouldn't they have been exposed for lying and then skinned alive?]

[From another perspective, the God Su clearly knew He Muzhi was acting, yet he cooperated with his performance, allowing him to succeed. Isn't that even more of a favor? (starry-eyed) PS: Speaking of luck... haven't you guys noticed that ever since the Plague God completely died, He Muzhi's bad luck has vanished, leaving only good fortune? Tsk, thinking about it this way, villains and protagonists are indeed destined to be mortal enemies.]

[It's known that He Muzhi didn't consult with Qin Su, so Qin Su knew about and orchestrated all of this to avoid putting He Muzhi in a difficult position, or even risking a decline in his 'prestige'. Therefore... isn't Qin Su's special treatment of He Muzhi a destiny created by Qin Su himself? In essence, Qin Su is a true god!]

[Just realized? Your reaction time is so slow it could circle the Milky Way. Well... that last sentence sounded weird, like it was an insult.]

Having only read the beginning, less than a second, He Muzhi realized the weight of this plan. He suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, temporarily setting aside the countless thoughts that flashed through his mind, and tried his best to calm down and scan for all the information he could.

Although the arrangement of different people on the page is clear, there are 999 people in Class 6) besides Qin Su. Moreover, many of these 999 people brought many people who should not be here. On their own planets, they are at the bottom because of their style, adherence to tradition, faith, etc., and rely on their past achievements or even the local army.

Furthermore, the page had been deliberately shrunk, and at first glance, it was densely packed with messages of all kinds, a vast number with diverse origins. He Muzhi didn't have time to carefully read them all; he only glanced at them to make sure he could at least fool some of the students in front of him who were already harboring their own ulterior motives and therefore more guilty than the others. At the same time, he confirmed the fact that Qin Su had been observing them all along. After lowering his Optical Brain and turned his gaze to all the students who were closely watching him.

'Qin Su indeed maintained a single-line contact with He Muzhi!'

'Oh no, will Qin Su be petty and hold a grudge?'

What are Qin Su's plans next?

Fortunately, I resisted all sorts of temptations and never strayed from my original intentions!

After a brief moment of astonishment, countless students in Class 6) held their breath, some nervous, some curious, all unable to remain calm as they watched He Muzhi finally shift his gaze from the Optical Brain to them.

Those who had previously suspected He Muzhi of orchestrating the whole thing had completely abandoned their doubts and were forced to accept the fact that He Muzhi did indeed know more than they did. They recalled the rule that Class 6 (Class 6) had secretly agreed to punish group leaders for mistakes made by group members behind Qin Su's back, and subconsciously moved to the position of their own group leader in Class 6).

[They only acknowledge his status as a team leader when they need him, and look down on him when they don't.]

[Wake up, this isn't Class 6 anymore]

[So, everyone's too busy gossiping to investigate what He Muzhi was just reading?]

[Too long to read, it's bad for my eyes]

He Muzhi habitually glanced around, using his eyes to put pressure on the guilty students. "Many of us should feel fortunate."

Although he was vague and did not specifically name anyone, He Muzhi thought that some of his classmates should know what they had done, and he was not afraid that they would not be able to connect the dots between what he was talking about.

"...?"

'Does He Muzhi mean... that Qin Su didn't react at all because he brought someone he shouldn't have?'

Before everyone could think for long, He Muzhi, amidst the various gazes of his classmates, focused his attention on the students who were noticeably highlighted by some of them silently retreating. "Besides this matter, as you all saw just now, who still thinks I orchestrated this whole thing?"

Previously, he had been spouting nonsense and ignoring the questions and stares of his classmates. Now, with Qin Su's affirmation, he was full of confidence.

"..."

With Qin Su's buff, everyone in Class 6) who was dissatisfied with him was speechless and acquiesced. No one asked him any questions. He Muzhi breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Since no one has any questions, everyone come with me now."

Not hearing He Muzhi clearly and concisely tell what he had seen, some people in Class 6) frowned in dissatisfaction, their eyes involuntarily falling on Sophia and the others, hoping they would speak for them.

As they waited, all they heard was Sophia and the others say something like "okay" or "let's go," or simply follow He Muzhi without saying anything and stride out. Thinking of Qin Su, and seeing He Muzhi and Sophia's group sticking together, they felt uncomfortable but had no choice but to step aside and make Passageway, watching helplessly as they left before their eyes.

Walking through the students, He Muzhi saw the unwilling expressions on some of their faces and clearly realized that he did not have Qin Su's terrifying strength. If a riot were to occur, he would most likely not be able to control the situation on his own. He was also unsure He Muzhi Sophia and the others would help. He secretly rejoiced that Qin Su's influence was still there even though he did not appear. Many people were curious to death, but as long as he did not take the initiative to say anything, they did not dare to ask.

Even so... He Muzhi thought of all the troops outside, and the familiar numbness swept through his body again. As he passed Lin Yin, he gestured to her with his eyes, and his fingers twitched slightly at his side.

Lin Yin immediately understood He Muzhi's meaning, secretly made a hand gesture to Samuel, and quickly walked to a short distance away from He Muzhi.

Lailisi didn't care about Samuel's hesitant and conflicted nature. She was sure she would grab Samuel and catch up with him without a second thought. She didn't need to worry that Samuel would fall behind and be 'surrounded' and cause trouble by other people who were dissatisfied with He Muzhi.

Samuel, who had just been released from his 'confinement' here after being informed by Lin Yin, hesitated as he watched Lin Yin's departing figure quickly disappear into a group of people walking briskly and exuding an imposing aura, struggling with whether or not to follow her.

"What are you standing there for? Let's go." Lailisi reached out and put her arm around Samuel's shoulder.

Before Samuel could come to a conclusion, Lailisi had already pulled him several steps away, and he immediately put aside his inner turmoil.

Knowing that they might have made a mistake, some students in Class 6 did not dare to approach the front and spontaneously stayed at the back. They looked at each other with grim expressions and followed without any choice.

Before the dense crowd outside could figure out the specific movements of Class 6), they saw the tightly closed black door open again, and He Muzhi, leading the other members of Class 6), appeared before them.

The moment the door opened, He Muzhi, in order to show his 'confidence and composure', walked with a calm expression and quick steps, ignoring all the countless stares cast at him from the surroundings, only stopping in front of the army he had memorized in that short time.

He Muzhi stopped walking, and the people behind him naturally followed.

"?"

What does it mean?

By purchasing the 'opportunity' sold by Belloc, who came from Class 6, the people from the Military District 44 who came from the Serent Planet looked at He Muzhi, who was standing in front of them, with puzzled expressions.

Amidst everyone's puzzled and bewildered gazes, He Muzhi lowered his voice and called out, "Belloc."

(Class 6) Belloc, who was at the end of the class line, felt his heart jump the moment he saw He Muzhi's movement. A strong sense of unease overwhelmed him. Less than a second later, he heard He Muzhi call his name and had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer "Yes." With a sliver of hope, he stubbornly stood still.

"Come up." Not seeing any sign of Belloc coming out from the corner of his eye, He Muzhi had to make it clear.

He Muzhi's words were too blunt, and since he was acting on behalf of Qin Su, Belloc found himself with no room for maneuver and could only stiffly step forward through the Passageway cleared by his classmates.

Upon reaching a spot not far from He Muzhi, Belloc politely inquired, "What is it?"

"Immediately take the teams from the Military District 44 of Serent Planet, the Military District 75 of Maiville, and the Military District 193 of Sinclair Planet and depart from the NKG-13 Jump Point. Land at Fijiya in Clyus fourteen hours later and stand by."

"What?!"

Hearing that all the troops he brought through the 'auction' were to be 'exiled' to Fijiya, a place on the very edge of the entire Clyus, was tantamount to participating in the operation but only contributing one percent of it. It was essentially no different from exile. If he actually went there, not to mention how difficult it would be to climb up the social ladder afterward, he would be lucky to avoid falling back down. Not to mention whether the people he brought would even let him go.

Realizing the predicament he was about to face in his life, and how his life had suddenly gone from a period of great success with Qin Su to a rapid decline, Belloc's voice unconsciously rose.

Those who were listening intently all around changed their expressions upon hearing this, especially those at the back of Class 6). Hearing about Belloc's fate, they anticipated the same fate and their faces turned pale and then red.

Those brought by Belloc were naturally unwilling. Considering that Qin Su and the He Family were behind He Muzhi, they dared not vent their anger on He Muzhi, who had made such an arrangement. Instead, they stared at Belloc with unfriendly expressions.

'You dare to mess with them?!'

[Don't take on a job you're not qualified for. Now look what happened, you've messed things up. You've ruined the rest of your life. It's true what they say, the bolder you are, the more you die. You even dared to fool Qin Su. I really don't know what they were thinking. Why did they have to court death when they could have had a perfectly good life?]

[Don't you think Qin Su was too good to them before? Every time they went on a mission with Qin Su, they received benefits far exceeding what they would have gained from completing the mission themselves. He spoiled them so much that they became arrogant and thought that although they couldn't compare to He Muzhi, they were still trained by Qin Su. They thought Qin Su would let them off the hook, but who knew they would overplay their hand?]

[Not really, they're still alive, aren't they? Compared to those who annoyed Qin Su and died in all sorts of bizarre ways, their fate is much better.]

[Does your "goodness" refer to living in constant fear? If so, death would be preferable. I've wanted to say this for a long time: Qin Su has been deliberately inflating their appetites. Isn't that a form of "praise to kill"? I still lean towards the idea that Qin Su uses candy disguised as kindness to wrap poison, silently leading them astray, watching them fall, and then justifiably executing and torturing them. The more they gain in the past, the more resentful and painful they will be when they lose it. And Qin Su, he manipulates everyone like this. To put it bluntly, he's like a toy who thinks too highly of itself and can't see its owner suddenly throwing it to the ground.]

Qin Su: "..."

In all honesty, he was kind to them back then only to 'win their hearts' in exchange for Life Points; he wasn't stupid enough to scheme to that extent.

After silently defending himself in his heart, Qin Su watched as He Muzhi began to take action. He then checked the messages that had been sent at different times according to the different distances of the bases from Clyus.

Fortunately, he never truly trusted anyone. No matter how many people unexpectedly gathered in Clyus, the army composed of Modified Humans from various bases, who had undergone modifications and were generally stronger than most soldiers, kept watch and restrained from above. He didn't need to worry too much about it affecting the final outcome.

"What?" Although he had already anticipated that many people in Class 6 no longer listen to him as they used to, He Muzhi still felt deeply annoyed by his own incompetence. He tried his best to remain calm and asked Belloc's question a soul-searching question, "Are you dissatisfied with Qin Su's arrangements?"

"... No."

His premonition came true. Before he could even think of anything to change his situation, he heard He Muzhi use Qin Su to pressure him. Belloc's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, died completely, and he didn't dare to refute it at all.

But... when He Muzhi was at the Old Meeting Place, after reading Qin Su's message, didn't he tell them they should feel fortunate? Didn't that mean Qin Su hadn't done anything inappropriate to them? Now He Muzhi's words clearly indicate that Qin Su's arrangements were already targeting him... Wait, could it be that in Qin Su's view, this doesn't count as a targeted attack...?

Before the thought had even settled, Belloc recalled the fate of those insects and humans, and how Qin Su had forced them to adjust their mentality and undergo training to their limits. His face paled.

No wonder He Muzhi thought this was their good fortune. In fact, based on Qin Su's past behavior, he was only marginalizing them now, not really killing them. It was very likely because of their (Class 6 background. But... was living like this really merciful? Or... did Qin Su want to see their tragic fall from grace?

"Since there's no dissatisfaction, what are you still standing there for?" He Muzhi didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he urged the distorted-faced Belloc to leave.

After He Muzhi finished speaking, he calmly looked at the nearby teams and Sophia and the others, who were evenly distributed throughout the Sky City.

"They were brought from various Military District; these were Special Forces were more trusted than other affiliated armies. Compared to other armies that only wanted to get a share of the spoils, they were superior in many ways, including cooperation, obedience, and emergency response."

'While they may have conflicts of interest in certain external matters, regarding Qin Su, they are well aware of Qin Su terrifying power and are unaware of Qin Su limits. Therefore, they wisely avoid provoking him. To ensure the smooth execution of Qin Su's orders and to continue advancing on the path Qin Su has laid out for them, Sophia and the others will not refuse his request.'

When Sophia and the others came into He Muzhi's sight, they immediately understood. In less than a second, the factors they considered were basically the same as He Muzhi's. They silently signaled that the troops they had arranged nearby, together with the troops He Muzhi had brought, would join the force threatening those who were affecting the operation of the Qin Su mission.

[Hey, don't you guys think their perspective on things is weird? They were pretty close when they were classmates, and they kept in touch quite frequently after leaving school, so why don't they prioritize friendship and camaraderie when faced with a problem, but instead focus on protecting their common interests?]

[You probably want to say they are 'heartless']

[That's called being clear-headed. If they weren't rational, they would have already blinded themselves and joined forces with Belloc.]

Belloc activated his Optical Brain and notified each of the troops that He Muzhi had mentioned, instructing them to leave with him.

The various armies that were called upon had arrived here through an 'auction', so naturally they were unwilling to submit obediently. However, before they could even utter a word, they keenly sensed the 'threat' emanating from all around them. Seeing that they were at the center of the threat from Special Forces notorious across the Federation's various planets, while the armies that remained inactive were choosing to protect themselves and had no intention of getting involved, they had no choice but to give up and reluctantly leave with Belloc.

Belloc took nine armies with him at once, leaving a small empty space, but it was still noticeably deserted compared to the dense crowds around it.

"Have you heard? He Muzhi is driving away those who are dissatisfied, following Qin Su's orders. I wonder if we'll be included in that."

" (Class 6 has fallen out of favor! I heard the consequences are dire."

"So many people are dead over there, oh my god, did they really lure us in to kill us?"

"What? Qin Su wiped out more than thirty armies in one go?"

Others who were far away and did not witness Belloc's targeting firsthand also learned, through gradual dissemination, about Belloc's departure.

In less than a minute, everyone was speculating wildly, the story strayed further and further from the truth, and the atmosphere became increasingly agitated.

After dealing with Belloc, He Muzhi didn't stop and continued forward to the next place he felt was too crowded and needed to be dispersed, and which, according to Qin Su's plan, could be legitimately 'cleared' out.

Along the way, seeing the restless crowd, Lin Yin, in an environment where only the dull footsteps could be heard and everyone's attention was almost entirely focused on He Muzhi, lowered her voice, not afraid that those around her wouldn't hear her. "He Muzhi, how did you know how many armies Belloc brought, and which planets and Military District they came from? I remember you only discovered they were here after you arrived."

He Muzhi looked straight ahead and, with Lin Yin's help, smoothly delivered the lines he had prepared in advance. "Qin Su informed me of everything here beforehand; he's been watching us the whole time."

"..."

The previously restless crowd immediately fell silent, their expressions unreadable as they watched Qin Su stop once again in front of an army.

Although He Muzhi's voice wasn't loud, they could hear it if they listened carefully.

With Qin Su constantly watching him and some of his classmates cooperating with his strength, He Muzhi successfully replicated his success with Belloc time and time again.

Only after the remaining people were placed in the Green √ low-risk category according to Qin Su's arrangement did He Muzhi 'dismiss' the remaining troops. After watching the entire Clyus being 'divided up' by the army led by the students of Class 6), He Muzhi also led his people to the Setini Palace.

--

Fifteen hours later, the Cyborg Army members from various planets and bases, scattered across Clyus on Qin Su's orders, stared at the unfamiliar faces around them, their eyes wide with astonishment.
