Chapter 324
Isn't this normal? Who would willingly accept their fate without even trying? I certainly wouldn't want to be in their situation either.
[Don't take it so seriously. What if they're just having fun, or it's another coordinated publicity stunt? Everyone knows that any random group from Class 6 can generate a lot of buzz. With so many people competing, they've probably already planned out the distribution of benefits in private. They're using themselves to bait the most promising people from Class 6, just to catch you easily swayed scoundrels. And you've actually taken it seriously? What a bunch of laughable clowns.]
[Yo yo yo, so high and mighty my ass, you're the most clear-headed one, okay? What bullshit (vomit)]
[Never mind, summon Qin Su]
[Can't control it, summon @]
[Can't make any more noise, call @KING]
[Out of options, calling on @my_sleeper]
Amidst the ongoing online and offline disputes, May 10th arrived, marking the end of the three-day public announcement period. The final list showed both additions and subtractions compared to the initial list, but the additions still did not include the name 'Qin Su'.
Faced with this result, some students in Class 6 finally felt relieved, believing that at least Qin Su was not interested this time, giving them a chance.
As for the next one... well, we'll think about that next time. After all, whether it's now or in the future, as long as Qin Su wants to participate, all of them will be wasting their time.
Naturally, there were also those who knew they had no hope, who were abandoned by Qin Su and disliked by the other people in Class (Class 6), and who were hoping to see Qin Su parachute in and defeat He Muzhi and the others. They were extremely dissatisfied, disappointed, and irritable. They then took the time to secretly operate and release information on various social media platforms on the StarNet that could affect the image of some people in Class 6) and thus reduce their votes. The truth of the information was not important; what was important was to drag everyone down with them. If they were not having a good time, the other people in Class 6) would not have a good time either.
As the waters were gradually being stirred up, countless people rushed to join this war of public opinion without the sound of gunpowder, with no fewer than those from Class 6).
(Class 6 will be sleepless tonight, gathering in the same space with their respective groups, keeping a close eye on the real-time synchronized data and situations, and secretly releasing information that they have prepared in advance, whether it is beneficial to their side or detrimental to anyone else, while deleting as much evidence and statements as possible that are unfavorable to them.
From the day they went their separate ways, many of them foresaw the current situation. Emotions were easily replaced by reason in the face of enormous interests. Everyone who couldn't give a public speech during the first round of the Federation's planetary general elections did their utmost to present their best selves to the world, hoping to stay and go further...
[Now that things have come to this, let's eat... wait, has everyone decided who to vote for?]
[Without Su, it's all the same to everyone (heartbroken. jpg)]
[Hiss... Jeffrey really likes to smell his own stinky feet after training? Jin Yue looks down on many people in Class 6 and always pretends not to see them? Anthony likes to spit in other people's food... Hiss, how come there are suddenly so many revelations, is Zun Du fake Du?]
[Wow, so they're really that disgusting in private? They always appear so glamorous on the surface, but are incredibly repulsive underneath. It's all just a persona, a persona!]
[He Muzhi, handpicked by the God Su, you can't go wrong choosing him]
[(Rolls eyes) What nonsense! Every Boss 1!]
[Holy crap, look quickly! (Link to the scandal of Mara Planet Councilor Datpoli) (Link to the tyrannical speech of the former Executive of Wagakubo Planet)... I can't copy it all, there's a new surprise every time I refresh, my goodness! I'm like a weasel jumping around in a melon field, I can't keep up with everything, could this be (Class 6 secretly pulling the strings?]
[Who cares, let's fight! I love Kang (starry-eyed) (eating melon seeds)]
[Maybe I should just abstain. I've never been interested in voting before anyway, and now that I'm finally thinking of voting, the only dorm I want to choose isn't even on the list. What's the point of voting?]
[Sophia, charge!]
[Huh? I just saw it, how come it's gone after this refresh? Hiss, looks like I was right, the predictions were all true. Look, a group of people from Class 6) have collectively broken through the defenses and started to exert their strength in secret.]
[You're just following blindly, and you've been fooled by fake news from marketing accounts, haven't you? Sophia isn't even on the list; she's on a completely different track (facepalm)]
[Why vote? Aren't these things usually predetermined? Do you really think our votes matter? Foolish!]
[Why are all the comments praising Class 6? What about the others? Maybe Patrick could be included?]
[You mean the older generation? They've already been swept away by the younger generation and left on the beach. (smile)]
[The Ossotalia Empire was wiped out effortlessly by the King Su and Class 6), and the annihilation was so targeted that it caused a bloodbath, serving as a stark warning. Patrick's Nth year wasted (shrug)]
Once midnight on May 11th, the preliminary list was locked, and the first round of general voting automatically began. This round lasted for three days. During this period, every citizen of each planet aged twelve or older had one vote and could choose to abstain or participate in the voting, casting their vote for one of the candidates.
Amidst a barrage of explosive and ever-increasing news regarding the candidates' lists, both positive and negative, the names of the candidates on public screens across various planets constantly changed as the number of votes increased or decreased.
Among them, Class 6), which is famous because of Qin Su, became particularly prominent in this vote. Many people in Class 6) became well-known because of Qin Su, and naturally stood out easily among many unfamiliar names. As a result, the number of votes for many people in Class 6) rose at an astonishing speed. Of course, some people were marginalized by Qin Su and most of the people in Class 6) and gradually sank to the bottom as the voting time went on.
In the dimly lit environment, Qin Su finished his work based on the events that had occurred in the three hours since the voting began. After carefully confirming the intimacy observation statistics table between the 'control list members' and the members of Class 6) based on his current observations, he breathed a deep sigh of relief, took off his glasses, and put two drops of eye drops into his eyes.
After rubbing his eyes, which hadn't rested for three hours, Qin Su leaned back in his chair, put his glasses away in the drawer, took a deep breath, tilted his head back, and checked himself against the open Optical Brain mirror to make sure he was fine from head to toe, showing no signs of fatigue and in the right posture, before confidently turning on the comic capture camera.
The more heart-wrenching the early stages, the deeper the 'psychological shadow' will be later. In order not to steal the attention of the natives of the Comic World from the students during the Federation Presidential Election, and to make the students realize his aloofness and indifference and his growing disappointment in him, so that the world gradually leans towards the rumor that 'the Modified Humans surpasses Class 6 to become Qin Su's favorite' before the results are finalized, so that his subsequent appearance can affect the emotions of the students of Class 6 and the natives of the Comic World to the greatest extent, thereby achieving the effect of making everyone 'unforgettable' of him.
But besides the Comic World, Qin Su didn't forget that the comments from Viewers in the Real World could also increase his Life Points.
Although his current status in the Comic World makes him more mysterious and more intriguing to the Viewers, there is a limit to his mystery before the Presidential Election is over. He needs to return to the Comic World at the right time to make his presence known to the real Viewers and let Viewers see that he still has everyone in Class 6 firmly in his grasp, showing his high-level state of 'strategic planning'.
[Holy crap, Su?! My goose, my grandma, my jujube, my brain, family, am I seeing things?! I actually saw my Su!!]
[Why did things suddenly get better out of nowhere? How am I supposed to live like this? Or is tomorrow the end of the world?!]
[Damn it, this is clearly my one and only destiny!]
[Boss 1. How did you know it was my birthday today?! You even surprised me by showing up suddenly (Shiba Inu carrying a red rose) Qin Su]
[Ahhh, Baby 1! (screams and runs around. jpg) Still surrounded by starlight in the dim light, Baby 1's deep-set eyes and handsome expression are so captivating!]
[(Rolling around excitedly on the bed. jpg) It's been so long since I've seen Boss Su! Promise me you'll scare me like this every day Qin Su!]
[I went to check and I'm back. Apart from us, no one in the entire Comic World knows that Qin Su has appeared! Not to mention the disfavored Class 6, even the people at the various planetary Modified Humans bases don't know. We're the only ones who don't!]
[You're dreaming! Open your eyes! Didn't you see Qin Su looking at the people from Class 6? Who do you think you are, daring to compete with Class 6? (rolls eyes)]
[Did Class 6 sneak in?]
[(Excited to the point of blurring and jumping into the water with faith, Su Bao has a cold face but gives me a 10. jpg) But what Su Bao is surrounded by is not starlight, but an Optical Brain screens with many people's names on them (covering face). It turns out that they are not trying to flatter themselves. Su Bao is really paying attention to them. There is no need to criticize Class 6). Su Bao still cares about them.]
[Not at all. Judging from Boss Su's indifferent and composed demeanor, Boss Su probably just suddenly thought of them and wanted to take a look. And for Boss Su to want to know something is a matter of a thought, taking at most a second. What does that mean he cares about them?]
Qin Su: "..." Three seconds ago, he was as busy as an octopus.
'Effortless x, Hasty √'
Judging from the objective fact that he was busy with Class 6), he did indeed have Class 6) in his heart.
Knowing he was already under the Viewers's view, Qin Su glanced at the barrage status while keeping a calm expression on the list of Class 6) members, which had already shown a clear polarization just three hours after the start of voting.
Confirming his judgment was correct by the density of the comments, Qin Su realized he hadn't fallen out of favor. He could finally focus 80% of his attention on the list. Both the first and second halves of the list were identical to his pre-calculated conclusions based on his classmates' reputations in the Federation over the past period.
Based on the current trend, Qin Su will eliminate the members in the latter half of the list who are destined not to enter the next round, and focus his attention on the remaining list, bringing this newly compiled list together with another list that has been determined over many years into the sorting process.
Before the election began, he could only painstakingly assess the closeness or distance between his classmates and those on his 'controlled' list from various perspectives, daring to draw conclusions with a probability of less than 50%. Now that the Federation President election has truly begun, his classmates, who had previously tried to hide their relationships for the sake of common interests, have joined forces with their respective groups to some extent. Many previously unknown relationships have nowhere to be concealed. Through three hours of observation, he can finally adjust the previous probability to 60% and use the '60% intimacy' data for preliminary analysis, making it easier to make subsequent predictions and prevent things from spiraling out of control.
[Intimacy? God's intimacy, and Su Bao set their mutual intimacy quite high. Who taught Qin Su to be so... Describing the relationship between Class 6) and this group of people, I was so shocked that I dared not open my eyes. I suspected that my eyes had eaten mushrooms.]
[Boss 1 has a bit of a dry sense of humor, haha]
[ (Class 6: Huh? Intimacy (stunned) (incredulous) refers to us and others, not you (pointing to Qin Su)]
[Do you think they know? @ Class 6]
[Today's MVP: Intimacy]
[Class 6): 999 students wrote a petition in blood demanding revisions!]
Less than a second after inputting the running command, several pages of skin, each evenly spaced apart, unfolded before my eyes. On each page, based on a 60% intimacy level, a certain person from Class 6) was the core, spreading and linking outwards, forming a well-organized network of interests solely in the matter of elections.
Looking at the densely packed pages in front of him, Qin Su didn't intend to memorize them all carefully. He only browsed through them once to get a general impression. Then, he entered new instructions and simply moved the pages with the fewest members in the network of interests to a new document.
(Class 6 are neither classmates nor friends with the members on the controlled list. They have no classmate relationship or friendship. Most of them are simply bound together by their positions and interests. Just like two strangers who interact more in a game and their intimacy gradually increases, his description perfectly summarizes the pattern of deepening connection between the students and the members on the controlled list. It is impossible to change this.
