In the utter silence, the clanging sound of something falling from the sky to the ground seemed particularly abrupt.

Those on the periphery, seeing the weapons revealed in the smashed box that were not much different from those on Class 6), immediately guessed what was going on. They looked at the Class 6) members confronting Felix with strange expressions, and their hearts, which had not been completely at ease, rose again.

In the past, they were more than 80% certain that Qin Su would not let the people of Class 6) die. After all, everyone who went on missions with Qin Su was alive and well, maintaining a record of no deaths that no one has been able to surpass to this day.

Now...

Thinking about the unknown drugs that had been injected into Felix and the others not long ago, and looking at the weapons scattered on the ground without confidence, the people around them lost all confidence to place any bets.

Seeing the box that had fallen to their feet, Felix and the others wanted to pick it up and equip themselves, but because they didn't quite understand Qin Su's intentions, their nerves were on edge, and they dared not make a move. Just then, they heard Qin Su's chilling voice.

"The things on the ground belong to you. In twenty-nine seconds," Qin Su said, giving himself a few seconds to prepare before the drug took effect. "Whoever it is, whether they live or die, it's up to them."

That's what he said, but the injected drug would not only counteract the effects of the drugs that the classmates had injected into them before, but it would also cause their adrenaline to surge and make them agitated. Combined with the atmosphere of being carried up there, they wouldn't have the option to make rational and calm judgments.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will all, as he has assumed, "generously" sacrifice themselves for the sake of the increasingly secure position of every (Class 6 student on the field, completing the final mission he forcibly attached to them.

"...?"

'Overnight, their status in Qin Su's heart dropped to the same level as Felix and the others. Qin Su not only didn't care about their lives but also actively sent them into a life-or-death situation?! Or is it all because Qin Su trusted them enough that even after Injected the Drug Felix and the others with drugs and providing them with weapons, their (Class 6 could still withstand the enemy's attack... Wait a minute, Qin Su even thoughtfully provided weapons for the enemy?! Damn, their Combat Suit and weapons were even provided by themselves! No, why...'

Upon hearing the devastating news, the students of Class 6 were filled with questions. No matter how much they pondered the situation, they glanced at their classmates and found that everyone remained silent, just like them.

' Qin Su is the sole rule-maker, and he treats them with extreme indifference in this situation. None of them want to challenge or defy the rules of the game set by Qin Su in a way that could very well sacrifice their own lives and the lives of those they represent.'

Even in the worst-case scenario, if Qin Su doesn't trust them and only treats them as tools for his amusement, they will only obey. And until the very last moment, when the outcome is uncertain or they are on their deathbed, they will resolutely refuse to believe that Qin Su has truly "disliked" them—this terrifying and cold truth...

'It's a lie, don't believe it even if they die. It must be because Qin Su has his own rhythm and they couldn't keep up!'

[ (Class 6 = clown]

[ (Class 6: What are you babbling about? Don't you understand Qin Su? If you don't, shut up! (Broken defense. jpg)]

[Trust, ugh, forcing it when there's no sweetness, truly, even when a person dies, their mouth remains hard.]

[On one hand, the rational analysis is logical, well-founded, and convincing; on the other hand, it makes a complete 180-degree turn and insists that Qin Su has his own rhythm, blaming himself for not keeping up, laughing all the way to the bank, like he's having a battle of wits between his left and right brains.]

"A life-or-death situation? No, why is Qin Su still clinging to his side..."

"Ahem!" The person next to him quickly elbowed his companion, interrupting him for daring to speak ill of Qin Su. "What life-or-death situation? Can't you speak properly? This is clearly a matter of seeking fortune in danger!"

Qin Su's words could be heard by almost everyone in the front row. Qin Su words, which included providing weapons to Felix and others, injecting them with unknown drugs, and treating Class 6) as an almost 'equal' class to Felix and others, immediately caused a stir.

On the Art of Speaking

[These words really stung me. I wonder how painful it must have been for Class 6. Luckily, they were just fictional characters, practically 'acting' for us, so they weren't really hurt. Thinking about it that way, I felt better again.]

"!"

With Qin Su's 'affirmation', many people in the crowd standing face to face with the Class 6 members at a distance immediately put on their Combat Suit that were scattered on the ground, and then tried to equip all their weapons on the Combat Suit.

Some people still clung to hope and tried to fight for a chance to survive, while others remained unmoved by Qin Su's words. The weapons in front of them were quickly snatched away by the people around them, leaving only their Combat Suit that could no longer be folded and worn.

This situation only lasted for twelve seconds after Qin Su finished speaking. The people around saw that the group of people who had previously had expressions of 'I don't care if I live or die' and 'I don't care what happens' suddenly became like they had been injected with chicken blood. Some were frantically grabbing their Combat Suit from the ground and putting them on with trembling hands, while others were roughly snatching their weapons from the hands of those around them.

A Combat Suit has a limited number of slots for weapons, and because everyone is on the same side, the extra weapons that others took were 'given back'.

Anyone with eyes could see that their abnormal physical and emotional fluctuations were due to the effects of the injection Qin Su had previously ordered them to receive.

"Holy crap, are they trying to kill off Class 6 people already?"

"It has been further confirmed that he was truly 'ruthless' towards Class 6)."

"Look at the expressions on the faces of the students in Class 6, tsk tsk, quite something to savor. But why do Sophia and the others still look so calm?"

"So what do you want them to do? What can they do besides accept it? Those people are clearly on the verge of death; they appear calm, but they're actually out of options."

The moment He Muzhi saw weapons fall in front of Felix and the others, although he resisted accepting this cruel fact, his body, like the students beside him, silently increased the sensitivity of his Combat Suit, and the surrounding discussions inevitably entered his ears.

The students from Class 6 on the field. "..."

The version titled "It's a bad review, but I had to listen to it even if I didn't want to" is more than just heartbreaking; it's like my heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys have been pierced right through!

Seeing this, the students from Class 6 who were not called upon by Qin Su tried their best to suppress their gloating impulse, so as not to leave any handle for Qin Su to hold a grudge in front of everyone.

'Tsk, although Qin Su remembers them, he's making them gamble with their lives. If they're unlucky enough to die, then they'll really have nothing left. Looking at it this way, those of them who don't even catch Qin Su's eye aren't in such a bad situation after all.'

[This kind of attitude is meant to save face for herself.]

[Once the people above survive, this group will behave themselves.]

[Heh, that still requires survival (rolls eyes) Swords and blades have no eyes, let alone real guns and cannons. Predicting someone above will lead to a fan's Dao heart shattering, so I'll charge at Qin Su (grin)]

[Loan to your dad]

Qin Su: "..."

The prediction was correct. Let's skip it next time. Not to mention that his classmates are in their prime in terms of reaction speed, age, and recent experience on the front lines. As for Felix and the others, their current positions are limited to issuing orders from the rear. Their experience on the front lines is either personally slaughtering hostages kidnapped from other planets or simply being Viewers. In any case, the combat strength of the two sides is not commensurate.

Moreover, he has never stopped observing each person in Class 6) so far, trying to obtain as much data as possible about each of them that could threaten his life, status, etc. Although people are ultimately just people and cannot always use cold, hard data to accurately control and measure, he still has a reference.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the students will win 100%. Even though people can unleash unlimited potential when in dire straits, the prerequisite is that they haven't been injected with the drug he gave them, and there aren't any 'employees' below them that no one else can see except him.

In this way, even if he sees a possibility that is less than 100% certain, he can nip it in the bud.

Killing is never the best way to solve problems, but for those who have committed heinous crimes like Felix, excessive leniency might be an encouragement. He unilaterally and extremely maliciously believes that the massacre of them can often have the most direct deterrent effect on onlookers.

As for the students, faced with his cold-blooded act of 'drawing a line,' in order to ensure their future paths remain as smooth as before, what level of effort would they need to go in this deliberately created 'desperate situation' to instill fear, intimidation, or even betrayal in those around them—who are essentially influential figures in the Federation? They would have to carefully consider whether they could afford the consequences.

He didn't know.

With only seven or eight seconds left before the full effect of the drug took hold, Felix and the others, unable to control themselves, swarmed from all sides towards the group of Class 6, launching a pincer attack.

The bullets were indiscriminate, whizzing and blasting at every (Class 6 member almost continuously. Upon seeing this, the first reaction of the (Class 6 members was to dodge, and their second reaction was to look in Qin Su's direction in the interval between dodging.

They hadn't heard Qin Su tell them to move; they still had hope, they could still gamble.

If Qin Su were to say something to them at this time, it would be tantamount to 'breaking the ice' in their relationship.

"...?"

"Others sold their items by tagging them on Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace app), and the students went crazy because of it?!"

Although he skillfully feigned indifference, he wasn't truly blind! Qin Su instantly realized that everyone was silently testing, or even 'threatening' him, by putting themselves in such a dangerous situation.
