Chapter 64
After the first round ended, the class Class Monitor posted a report in the group chat showing how each person completed their task in the simulation, specifically their individual route 'shifting' progress.
There 499 People, but only 189 completed the task.
The students who previously thought it was simple now only felt a pang of pain in their faces.
That's right...
499 People?
Isn't their class supposed to have 500 students?
After the grumbling and complaining, the simulation diagram made everyone belatedly remember something: before the first simulated combat exercise, the Class Monitor showed them a diagram with punctuated names, but the Class Monitor's name was not among them.
The Class Monitor clearly entered the Simulation Arena with them.
Their past experiences have all told them one well-known fact:
The Class Monitor would never abandon them; he would stand with them through thick and thin.
Therefore, there is only one highly probable explanation:
The Class Monitor knew perfectly well that he was too fast; he could complete the task in less than a second, so there was no need to mark his name on the simulation map.
All of this was to prevent them from seeing the Class Monitor's extraordinary achievements and feeling inferior.
Despite Qin Su's extremely cold demeanor towards everyone... he is actually meticulous and considerate in every matter, always seeking compromise.
No one understands Qin Su better than them!
The students, whose minds had been turned upside down, looked at Qin Su with hot, red eyes. They bit their lower lips and clenched their fists in gratitude.
[Everyone's expressions are so strange, some are clenching their fists, some are biting their lips, and their eyes are red. Have they noticed something's wrong? Or are they all putting on a show of "red-eye literature"?]
I was so anxious I was jumping around like a monkey.
[His eyes are already red, how about... a quick pinch on the waist and a wall slam?]
[Who are you pinching? Who are you pinning against the wall? This Boss 1 is a real daredevil!]
[What a joke, it's obviously the other way around. Didn't you see they're all Boss Su with red eyes?]
[All-in-one literature? No way, that would tire out our Baby 1... Laughs, our Baby 1 tired? Are you kidding me! Absolutely not!]
[Let's see if the left and right brains decide the winner in the previous comment.]
I think you guys are really crazy and wicked.
Qin Su: "..."
Hello everyone, you all look furious, gritting your teeth.
The comments section is truly a place where when one side is in trouble, everyone else adds to the chaos.
Did I... slip up?
No, no, no, impossible. Qin Su quickly dismissed his own thoughts.
Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly. The students in Class 6, who are caught up in the situation, shouldn't expect to find out the truth before the end of today.
The Hover device on their feet is very small, a thin sheet that they can't detect unless it's activated.
Afterwards... the fact that he retrieved only one Aircraft simulator at once is very likely to arouse the teacher's suspicion.
A teacher might come to check on the situation, but that's okay. He used his Class Monitor privileges to close the door to the Simulation Room from the inside.
(Class 6 was manipulated by his mind and locked up.
Even if school staff wanted to come in Inspection, they would have to wait until class was over.
When the administrators with the same permissions conduct an inspection, they will discover that 'he led the Mimicry Aircraft to rebel against the Zerg and oppose his classmates'.
Given the students' strong desire for gossip, they will definitely be curious about why the teacher came. Once they ask, his actions will be exposed, and it will only be a matter of time before the students find out the truth.
Even if they don't find his trail from the simulations posted in the group and become suspicious, they have no evidence.
After finishing his analysis, Qin Su calmed down and remained composed, letting his classmates observe.
He's not only uncivilized and immoral, secretly acting as a 'traitor,' but he's also shameless.
After calming down from the emotions stirred by Qin Su's thoughtfulness, the group gradually looked away from Qin Su and chatted with their companions during the break.
The simulated scenario naturally became the main topic of conversation.
"Hehe, I didn't die even once." Jeffrey said proudly, then changed the subject, "But those two Red-Winged Pheasant Crows following me were fucking tough to hit. I sniped them so many times, and only managed to hit them on my second try after switching weapons."
"Same here." Sophia shrugged. "If I didn't know we can't fly, I'd really suspect they were one of our own. They were so cunning, they really made me lose my temper."
"By the way, He Muzhi, how come you died once too?" Raymond asked, puzzled. "I've never died!"
He Muzhi was far superior to him.
Raymond's words drew everyone's attention to He Muzhi. Even SS-Class Alphas had died once, while many S or A+ level Alphas had not.
He Muzhi's achievement this time was truly surprising.
Upon encountering the inquisitive gazes of the crowd, He Muzhi truthfully recounted the events of that time.
"What? You encountered four Red-Winged Pheasant Crows?"
"Is that strange?" He Muzhi asked, puzzled.
"I have two."
"I have two too."
"Me too, two of us."
"Two plus one."
"There are two of them, too."
The students' successive remarks completely shattered He Muzhi's worries.
As expected of him, he's always quite adept at handling bad luck.
He rescued someone who was a psychopath who wanted to kill everyone around him, and in the simulation battle, he became the only exception, encountering four bugs.
Noticing the light had faded from He Muzhi's eyes, Zhong Lin quickly changed the subject. "Speaking of that enormous Red-Winged Pheasant Crows, you actually dared to shoot it! I saw it too, but I didn't dare to. Just watching it felt dangerous enough."
"I just think someone has to do the fighting," He Muzhi said honestly.
"It has to be you again." Raymond gave He Muzhi a thumbs up.
He Muzhi must have been thinking that if he shot it down, no one else would encounter it.
He Muzhi maintained his consistent level of self-sacrifice and prioritizing others' moral standards, so Raymond wasn't surprised at all that He Muzhi did such a thing.
"But we didn't manage to defeat it." He Muzhi looked embarrassed. "We even experienced death at its hands. If it were Qin Su, he definitely wouldn't have allowed it to escape."
"Wrapped!"
This statement was met with unanimous agreement.
[... Our A-Mu is always really unlucky when he's down on his luck.]
I almost couldn't bear to shatter their beautiful fantasy.
[You wouldn't have guessed, would you? It's actually a mimicry of Boss 1.]
After the five-minute break, everyone heard Qin Su's low, cold voice again.
"Look at the map." Qin Su remained as concise as ever.
As before, each name has two dots, but the position is different from last time.
Having learned from the first experience, no one dared to think that getting from one point to another was a simple task.
But...
Having learned from their previous experience, they were able to handle just two Red-Winged Pheasant Crows.
With this thought in mind, when the 'historical scene' was reenacted, everyone was dumbfounded.
Good news: Just as they expected, the insect they faced was still the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows.
Bad news: Not two, but four.
(Class 6 students. "???"
Are you seeing things?
He Muzhi: "..."
Eight.
Qin Su: "..."
Sorry, but I won't change it.
Two thousand Mimicry Aircraft transformed into Red-Winged Pheasant Crows, and under Qin Su's 'increased efforts without publicizing them, secretly doing good deeds' actions, they launched an equal attack on 499 People.
The students of Class 6, who had a bellyful of nasty words they hadn't yet uttered, screamed and quickly forgot what swear words they were about to say.
The Simulation Arena was filled with a cheerful atmosphere!
[ (Class 6: Is this true?]
[Absolutely amazing! I could say that to the Boss 1 countless times.]
As soon as the second round ended, the students of Class 6, who still had energy, hugged each other, their unspoken understanding unspoken.
Qin Su looked away, afraid that his conscience wouldn't be completely extinguished and that he wouldn't even glance at it.
In the third round, Qin Su showed no mercy, continuing to increase the number of birds released, reaching 4,000.
(Class 6 students. "!!"
They didn't want to open their eyes, hoping it was just their imagination.
After the event ended, the students in Class 6) looked at each other and started praising each other.
Qin Su: "..."
He seems to still have energy.
As expected of Interstellar People, his stamina is truly impressive. He must keep up the good work and silently demonstrate to the Interstellar People that he, Earthling, will never admit defeat.
At the same time, the managers in charge of the various Simulated Combat Rooms suddenly discovered that among the many classes that used simulation combat, Class 6) had the most Mimicry Aircraft.
A whole bunch.
This is exceptionally noticeable compared to the hundreds to thousands of data points from other classes.
"So many? Is there an error in the outbound data?" The supervising teacher subconsciously suspected and went to the Simulated Combat Room where Class 6) was located to confirm.
Upon arrival at the destination, the supervising teacher was blocked outside, with a message indicating that they did not have permission to enter.
"..."
To prevent other people from interfering with the training, the Class Monitor does indeed have this authority.
However, usually no Class Monitor will specifically lock access permissions.
The teacher in charge of the class suddenly understood when he realized that Qin Su was the Class Monitor of Class 6).
If it's Qin Su, his cautious, domineering, and forceful nature—preventing others from entering his controlled Training Grounds without permission—is quite normal.
The supervising teacher decided to come back after class.
In the fourth round, Qin Su increased his 'investment' to 6,000.
"..."
The students in Class 6 gasped in shock.
After it ended, the students of Class 6) remained silent, tears streaming down their faces.
In the fifth round, Qin Su waved his hand dismissively.
As the number of mimicry robots increased, Qin Su no longer cared about the individual students in the arena. He divided the mimicry Red-Winged Pheasant Crows equally according to the students' IDs, and then 'free-ranged' the extra ones for 'group' control.
"..."
Inside the venue, students from Class 6 frantically pinched each other's philtrum.
As the dust settled, the students of Class 6 looked at each other in silence, holding hands and gazing at each other with tearful eyes, everything unspoken.
Don't be fooled by their current appearance; they're practically dead already.
The sixth match only.
Qin Su: "..."
Now that he'd already done it, there was no way he could back down halfway. His heart was colder than it had been after killing fish at RT-Mart for ten years.
(Class 6 students. "...
They were numb, unable to even cry. They had all been diagnosed with having lost all their strength and abilities, and were just useless people who wanted to end it all as soon as possible.
With the last second of the half-hour Countdown ending, Qin Su announced, "Today's training is over."
May everything go smoothly and perfectly, bringing great fortune and prosperity.
Having completed the combination of metaphysical practice and grasping the small tips from both hands, Qin Su secretly prayed that the 'cause' he was now planting would yield the expected 'effect' on the battlefield.
(Class 6 students. "!"
Qin Su's clear, cold voice was like heavenly music to them, who were in despair at that moment.
For example, the Class 6) who were granted amnesty all collapsed and lay down, including He Muzhi had a high Pheromone level.
God knows how they endured this ordeal! They were so exhausted that it felt as if their last bit of strength had been drained, and their very breath felt like their souls were leaving their mouths.
In contrast, Qin Su remained completely relaxed even under such intense training, where they were pushed to their limits as long as no one died.
'As expected of Qin Su, he never showed the slightest sign of fatigue from beginning to end.'
' Qin Su's power is so great that even a fraction of it is enough for us to learn in half a lifetime!'
'Damn it, people like Qin Su are infuriating!'
'Qin Su is a god, no arguments accepted.'
The students of Class 6, whose hearts were filled with countless thoughts, did not have the strength to get up immediately. They just looked at Qin Su with admiration and envy.
Qin Su: "..."
Merit
Feeling guilty, Qin Su avoided all the gazes directed at him, frantically chanting in his mind, trying to salvage the merits of Crazy-1.
The comic book Viewers who watched the entire story, seeing the students sprawled on the ground, were filled with a myriad of emotions.
[Haha, everyone was kept in the dark, but I'm laughing so hard I'm pounding the bed like a maggot (smack) (the bed collapses) (continues rolling around on the floor laughing)]
[How could life be the same no matter which Class Monitor you have? (doge)]
[Su Bao is indeed a god (nods with hands behind his back)]
['Recognizing a thief as one's father']
[Bet a pack of gunpowder, when they learned the truth, everyone in Class 6) was 'moved to tears']
[ (Class 6 realize that, once they leave Qin Su, there is no wind or rain outside?]
[You wouldn't believe it, would you? All their current suffering wasn't just caused by Qin Su, but also brought about by Qin Su.]
Since things had come to this, Qin Su decided to slip away as a sign of respect, went to the Changing Room to change his clothes, glanced around at his classmates, and left with a "Dismissed" without changing his expression. He then left without a trace of his accomplishment, keeping his achievements hidden.
During the third session, the administrators attempted to drive past the Simulated Combat Room.
He had to walk quickly to avoid being caught by the supervising teacher and having the supervising teacher expose him as a 'traitor' in front of everyone in Class 6). As long as he walked fast enough, the scolding wouldn't catch up with him.
More importantly, after being in a state of high concentration for several hours, he now has a splitting headache.
Even with 'piece-like' manipulation, the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows becomes 'less difficult to attack' under its control.
If he stayed any longer, and something unexpected happened, he didn't want to spend even a fraction of his energy dealing with it.
With his brain throbbing with excruciating pain, Qin Su suppressed the urge to furrow his brow, clenched his teeth, and pressed his lips together, unwilling to utter another word, his expression cold and aloof.
The students in Class 6 were still sprawled out, either lying or sitting. One second they heard Qin Su coldly tell them to 'dismiss', and the next second they saw Qin Su change into his casual clothes and leave with a chilling aura.
(Class 6 students. "...
After a long silence, someone finally spoke up quietly, "The Class Monitor's face is so cold that I don't dare to breathe... What's going on?"
"Perhaps... they're not satisfied with the training results?"
"That must be it. In six training sessions, I only completed the task four times."
"I did it three times."
"Just once."
"Twice."
"0 letters."
"..."
With 499 People, less than half of them ever completed the task, a fact that would make any Class Monitor shake their head in disbelief.
No wonder Qin God Su so cold; in the end, they were the ones who dragged Qin Su down.
'How could someone like them deserve Qin Su's thoughtful consideration in hiding his own achievements to avoid discouraging their caring hearts?'
'Next time... they'll definitely try harder!'
[To be fair, Qin Su single -Optical Brain, and also had to select lucky guests for extra practice from time to time. It was mentally and physically exhausting, yet everyone performed poorly. The effort and reward were disproportionate, so it's normal for him to be unhappy.]
[In the last three rounds, everyone was in terrible form. Even the Boss 1 clearly lowered the difficulty of the attacks, but the overall performance was still not ideal. Sigh...]
But... not everyone is a genius, Qin Su doesn't need to set such high standards for them.
[If we don't slack off now, what will we do on the battlefield? Will anyone die like in other platoons?]
The comments section was filled with conflicting opinions, and the teacher in charge arrived just as the argument was reaching a heated moment.
"Huh?" The teacher looked puzzled. "What's wrong with you all?"
On the Simulation Arena, students from Class 6) lay in a row.
"Nothing."
"Teacher, what brings you here?"
Thinking that their performance had displeased Qin Su, everyone was in low spirits and their mood was low.
The supervising teacher scanned the room but didn't see Qin Su. She asked in confusion, "Where's your class Class Monitor, Qin Su?"
"I'm leaving." He Muzhi stood up. "Teacher, did you need to see our Class Monitor for something?"
"Ah, it's like this, I just came to check if there was a data error regarding your class's one-time withdrawal of Mimicry Aircraft."
The Mimicry Aircraft had returned to its position, but Qin Su was not present. He could only confirm with those present, "You really used Mimicry Aircraft?"
Only?!
Upon hearing this number, the students in Class 6) were shocked.
Those involved only knew that the numbers were increasing each time, but they had no idea that the total was so much.
"Teacher, please wait a moment." After saying He Muzhi turned to the other students to confirm.
He Muzhi asked everyone for the number. The students in Class 6 looked at each other. They had not met Qin Su's expectations and dared not disturb Qin Su, but they naturally remembered how many Red-Winged Pheasant Crows they had fought hard in each game.
He Muzhi, who was in charge of the statistics, easily discovered that, apart from his extra share, everyone else received an equal share.
Excluding the largest Red-Winged Pheasant Crows, there are indeed only a few in total.
Looking at the data on the Optical Brain, He Muzhi hesitated. "Teacher, are you sure it's not a Mimicry Aircraft?"
"Let me see." Even the teacher wasn't sure about He Muzhi's statistics, so he immediately checked his own Optical Brain. "See, I told you so!"
Looking at the data above, He Muzhi seemed to realize something, and his expression turned astonished.
He considered another possibility.
The other students saw it too, and muttered in confusion, "But the total number we added up is indeed..."
"I understand." Sophia took a deep breath and looked at her classmates who were all focused on her. "Everyone, who says that Qin Su has to be on our side once the simulated combat begins?"
"... You mean, the reason Qin Su never gives us his own name on the mission maps is because... he's on the 'Zerg' side."
Everyone: "...!"
They didn't want to believe it, but the data the teacher retrieved suggested it was very likely true.
He Muzhi remained silent, his mind replaying the image of himself chasing after the giant Red-Winged Pheasant Crows, trying to defeat it.
"..."
The Joker was himself!
No wonder he was powerless to fight back; he lost his 'life' in an instant.
[You didn't expect that, did you? (doge) Surprised? Unexpected, right?]
[ (Class 6 499 People: Knowing the truth made my tears fall]
[He Muzhi: I actually wanted to take down Qin Su back then?! Where did I get the audacity?]
[Boss Su (looking down): Who are you going to deal with?]
Everyone also recalled the emotions they felt at the very beginning of the competition.
"..."
Are they moved now?
I dare not move, I absolutely dare not move!
Waaaaah! Oh my god! Help!! What have they done?!
The Class 6) people, who were only now realizing the truth, were in a daze, as if struck by lightning.
Some students who had stood up even staggered and fell backward.
Looking at the students who seemed utterly dejected, the supervising teacher asked, puzzled, "Are you all alright?"
Why do you look so devastated?
"He's not dead, haha..."
"It's just a tiny bit lost, haha..."
The supervising teacher asked, "Should we call a psychiatrist for you? You all look a bit crazy."
The students in Class 6) were heartbroken. "..."
"Ahem." He Muzhi quickly gathered his scattered thoughts, cleared his throat, and smiled at the teacher, "Our class did indeed use a Mimicry Aircraft, and the data is correct."
Before the teacher could speak, He Muzhi seemed to remember something and quickly added, "Teacher, after you've confirmed with us, please don't bother our class Class Monitor, Qin Su, anymore."
"Alright then." The supervising teacher was puzzled and muttered to himself as he left, "Just what kind of complex terrain requires so many Mimicry Aircraft for simulation?"
Most of the time, Mimicry Aircraft are used to simulate objects that exist in various terrains.
(Class 6 students. "...
No, no, no, it wasn't simulating terrain. Qin Su used them all to mimic insects, and he acted as the "Insect King," controlling numerous "insects" to fight against their 499 People.
This is something they absolutely cannot do; the Optical Brain would simply go on strike.
Qin Su had put in a lot of effort and thought for them, but they... gave Qin Su a terrible result.
After an unknown amount of time, Raymond's low voice rang out. "Qin Su did so much for us silently, without saying a word. We even... dissed those worms during that time."
"Qin Su is still listening..." Just thinking about it makes Anthony so frustrated that he sits up in the middle of the night and slaps himself twice.
"We..." Sophia took a deep breath, her voice heavy, "Damn it."
[Sobbing, this is so touching! Boss 1 is so kind to everyone, we're all grateful for Boss 1 kindness, and it's good for us all too!]
[How can this not be considered a two-way journey?]
[I never expected this... No wonder Qin Su's face was so cold when he left]
Meanwhile, on the Train.
The car door opened again, and as if sensing something, Qin Su suddenly looked up.
At the open Train door, four soldiers in Federation uniforms, two in front and two behind, escorted a dejected man with black hair mixed with white hair into the train.
Seeing this scene, the students of the Fourth Military Academy were not surprised and quickly made way for them.
Above the man's head, Qin Su saw something familiar, exactly the same as the one on the upper right corner of the skin in front of him... Countdown of Life Points in minutes.
