Chapter 68

He has better bait, and the remaining space needs to be used to extract more weapons from the Fourth Military School.

As he spoke, Qin Su stood up, looked at the Class Advisor, and, in the name of the Class Monitor, made a request. "Teacher Zhang, I need to fill the space that was originally used to store living creatures with the following weapons."

Zhang Minglang had barely heard Qin Su's words when he saw a document sent by Qin Su appear on his Optical Brain.

Opening the list on the Optical Brain revealed a list of various weapons. This wasn't what stumped Zhang Minglang; what left him speechless was that Qin Su had included an easy-to-understand diagram at the end of the list, showing how the weapons were arranged in the empty space used to store living creatures.

Zhang Minglang: "..."

It's normal for Qin Su to 'not fight a battle unprepared'; he plans a hundred steps ahead, even meticulously planning the placement of weapons on his Spaceship.

Such meticulousness is rather unsettling.

"... It's possible."

Zhang Minglang sent the list to the staff responsible for the pre-combat Spaceship inspection and maintenance, instructing them to follow the instructions on the list. He was relieved that Qin Su was still young and had focused his enthusiasm on dealing with the Zerg, rather than becoming a politician who abused his power for personal gain or openly opposed the Federation.

Otherwise, a bloodbath will surely ensue.

Even though it was he, as the teacher, who wronged Qin Su, the student, in the matter of Vitelta, Qin Su's attitude towards him remained unchanged for more than a month afterward.

All of this indicates that, at least for now, Qin Su and the Qin Family have no intention of opposing the Federation.

Zhang Minglang composed himself, and even though he knew Qin Su couldn't possibly be unaware of this, he couldn't help but nag, "Qin Su, if Abia Firefly doesn't self-destruct, our weapons simply can't penetrate its body."

The Creator's artistry is unparalleled; without living beings to lure them into self-destruction, no matter how many weapons are piled up, they are nothing but a useless pile of trash in front of Abia Firefly.

Surely Qin Su didn't want these weapons himself, did he?

What a joke! What could Qin Su possibly want that the Qin Family wouldn't have? How could they possibly be interested in these little trinkets?

Qin Su must have had his reasons for making such a request.

"I know."

In order to add extra weapons to the Spaceship, he secretly included some weapons that were not included in the previous 'apology'.

Qin Su, secretly relieved by the teacher's caring reminder, obediently responded.

In the chaos of the day, who knows if it will even be useful? It can be seen as a small consolidation he secretly gave himself after suffering heavy losses in this real battle, using his 'apology' as an apology.

Everything that needed to be said had been said, and Qin Su said he understood. Unable to stop him, Zhang Minglang could only nod. "It's good that you know what you're doing."

After saying that, Zhang Minglang looked at the other students in the class. "In that case, you should all get some rest. Your teacher will be waiting for your triumphant return."

"Good!"

"With the Class Monitor here, teacher, you can rest assured."

"Just hahaha..."

Even if they didn't understand Qin Su's decision to exchange living creatures for weapons, this was Qin Su; what did they have to worry about?

The young man was passionate and full of enthusiasm. He didn't hold any resentment towards Qin Su for his grueling training. Even the cricket blamed itself for not doing well enough and didn't resent Qin Su for being too harsh and cold-blooded. Qin Su was deeply moved.

[You're so confident now, what will you do later? Seriously, aren't you worried?]

[Of course, they'll only become more arrogant.]

[What's there to worry about? If things go wrong, he can just turn around and disappear without a trace using technology that even the Federation can't crack. In the end, it's the cannon fodder who will suffer.]

[Are they spreading rumors without any basic principles? When has our Boss 1 ever abandoned everyone?]

[Qin, the fisherman Su, has hooked me again! I really want to crawl into Su Bao's head and see how many surprises he has inside that I don't know about.]

As Qin Su bid farewell to his homeroom Class Advisor and classmates and left, he glanced at the live chat comments. "..."

Stop digging in, there's no surprise there, it's all his shady little schemes.

--

The team leader of the Spaceship inspection and maintenance team received the blueprints from Zhang Minglang on his Optical Brain and blurted out, "Are you crazy?"

"What?"

"Take a look for yourselves." The group leader sent the document to the group.

Upon reading it, they were also stunned. Although they were in logistics, they had been on the battlefield before and were familiar with information about the Zerg.

Everyone knows that the Fourth Military Academy's Purge the Abia Firefly actually involves clearing out its eggs, which requires luring live insects to self-destruct before the cleanup can begin.

The class in charge of the Abia Firefly cleanup operation demanded that all live animals be replaced with weapons.

Isn't this just plain stupid?

"Wait... look at the words in the top right and bottom left corners."

"Zhang Minglang is the Class Advisor Class 6. The paper he distributed has a special letter 'S' in the lower left corner."

Anyone who has browsed the Fourth Military Academy Forum knows that the letter S is exactly the same as the letter on the box that Qin Su once mentioned.

The moment Qin Su showed that special letter S, it caused a sensation on the Forum in less than ten minutes, and soon spread from the Fourth Military Academy.

This sparked a spontaneous activity to search for clues about the Qin Family members's presence through the letter S.

Of course, no matter how capable a person is, in the end they gain nothing.

This further proves, from another perspective, that Qin Su's background is unfathomable.

A simple sentence from a team member was more effective than a silencer, silencing those who had initially been skeptical.

This letter represents the document they have received from the Class 6, whose actual initiator is Qin Su.

In an instant, the voices of doubt changed to:

"Oh, it's Qin Su. Then it's alright."

"There must be a reason behind Qin Su's actions that we cannot yet understand."

"I'd guess Qin Su must have discovered some special method to deal with Abia Firefly. After all, Qin Su has more comprehensive data on the Zerg than the Federation does, and other planets that are at odds with the Federation do indeed possess many unorthodox methods for dealing with the Zerg."

While following Qin Su's instructions, the leader of the high-intensity surfing group replenished the Spaceship that Class 6 would use tomorrow with additional weapons, and sent the received blueprints to the Forum.

He can't eat this melon all by himself.

Qin Su's every move attracted much attention, and the team leader specially included 'Qin Su' in the title.

The Forum post's click-through and spread speed was exceptional; once posted, numerous replies appeared within a minute, and it was only a matter of time before screenshots were forwarded to other military schools and the StarNet.

Qin Su, who had created a real-time chart of his Life Points Optical Brain in the lower right corner, discovered a sudden and dramatic fluctuation in his Life Points on his way back to his dormitory.

The increase was much higher than when he deliberately broke with convention and refused live enticement in the classroom scene, where he was the main character.

His current Life Points has increased to 28 minutes per second, over 400 days, Life Points increase of about 300 days.

Qin Su: "?"

He's practically disappeared from the Viewers eye, so how did his popularity suddenly surge?

The increase is astonishing, something that bullet comments alone couldn't achieve. Is this related to the improved public perception of the indigenous people?

This wasn't the first time this had happened. Qin Su skillfully opened Forums and StarNet while walking...

Usually, he himself doesn't know what happened. When his Life Points suddenly increase so dramatically, he usually just needs to search the Forums and StarNet to find the answer.

A moment later, upon seeing the screenshot of the blog post published by the StarNet online celebrity and the surge in comments, Qin Su suddenly realized what was going on.

There were voices in the comments questioning him, and naturally, there were also voices supporting him; the two sides argued fiercely.

Furthermore, because his performance in Vitelta was so 'White Moonlight,' the voices of support won an overwhelming victory over the voices of doubt after confronting each other.

The overwhelming side refused to admit defeat, and their statement, "Truth often lies in the hands of a minority," broke down the defenses of the supporting side.

A StarNet online influencer deliberately liked controversial comments, causing them to rise to the top of the search results.

Neither side would yield, and the dispute escalated.

The discussion generated a lot of buzz, and he, as one of the parties involved, reaped the benefits from the controversy.

Qin Su: "..."

Without firing a single shot, they made a fortune. Indeed, the power of the internet is far greater than imagined, no matter where you are.

Seeing this made him want to anonymously create an account and stir up trouble on both sides.

Unfortunately, it's not possible. StarNet users use their real names online. Although their names are not published on the front end, and the front end still uses custom nicknames, each Social Media Account is bound to their Optical Brain in the back end. The StarNet back end can see their Identity ID clearly.

A system that transcends this world can naturally provide him with countless anonymous accounts that cannot be found on the StarNet, just like it can provide him with Star Coins accounts.

However, he is too strong. If the Federation sees StarNet accounts whose origins cannot be traced, it is very likely to take a 'one-size-fits-all' approach and treat them all as its own anonymous accounts.

Is this ruthless and cold-blooded tycoon using an anonymous account on the StarNet to stir up trouble and incite conflict between two sides?

This would ruin the public image he has worked so hard to build.

Having figured out the situation, Qin Su immediately nipped his idea of creating a secondary account in the bud and withdrew his attention from the comment sections of internet celebrities who were trying to ride the wave of popularity on the StarNet.

Any sound that increases his Life Points is a good sound, no matter what it is.

When he made the plan, he only intended to whet the appetite of the students at the Fourth Military School, never imagining that the Second Practical Exercise would also involve the indigenous people outside the Military Academy in their anticipation.

Thanks to this unexpected hype, the expectations of the interstellar natives have been raised to a level higher than he imagined.

If he meets everyone's expectations, wouldn't his Life Points also increase accordingly?

Qin Su: "..."

'I'd love to watch a fight.'

Unbeknownst to him, the development and refinement of his 'strong persona' has made it easier for his Life Points to increase now than when he first arrived in the Comic World.

On the way back, with nothing else to do, Qin Su asked the system on his Optical Brain:

[777, How did the former hosts all die?]

Based on his experience since they became bound together, 777 can provide a great deal of help to the host; she's easy to please and talk to.

The hosts' conditions shouldn't have been too difficult, so why is the mortality rate so high, reaching 777, to the point that it supposedly 'killed several hosts'?

[Host A, after transmigrating and learning about the Protagonist Group, resented He Muzhi for stealing his thunder, called Lailisi and Samuel who should be dissected, and claimed that only Lin Yin was a normal person like him. He was heavily criticized by the Protagonist Group's fans, survived for a week, and was then collectively banned from being mentioned by Protagonist Group. Without comments to increase his popularity, his popularity with the native inhabitants was also completely ruined, and he died.]

[Host B didn't insult anyone, but desperately wanted to be a lackey for the Protagonist Group. Everyone called him a simp and ignored him. Due to his low popularity, he died.]

[Host C, on his first day, boasted that he had the script in his hands, telling the characters in the Comic World who the protagonists, villains, and cannon fodder were. However, he couldn't predict the characters' fates and was considered a fraud and a lunatic by the natives. The comic book Viewers, finding nothing new, grew tired of him. He lived for half a month and died.]

[Host D, without Optical Brain, just robbed; without Star Coins, just robbed; without weapons, still tried to rob, but before he could, he was shot dead by the interstellar patrol.]

[Host E, captivated by He Wenyuan's good looks, wanted to cooperate with him. He Wenyuan agreed in a gentle voice and invited him into his home. Less than half an hour later, He Wenyuan, feeling offended, cut off E's tongue, gouged out his eyes, and threw him to his death...]

[Host f, unattractive appearance, died.]

[Host G, socially anxious, died in three minutes.]

"... Stop." Qin Su, who had just entered the dormitory, spoke up. From this small incident, he roughly understood why his 'ex-boyfriends' had all died.

Comic book Viewers are realistic. If you can't provide them with excitement, arouse their curiosity and desire to explore, or show them something different, outsiders who don't have the life of the natives will soon be forgotten and die.

Qin Su, who had just been gloating over the fact that his Life Points had increased faster than at the beginning, was now jolted back to reality by the deaths of his previous hosts and became more cautious, no longer daring to relax his guard.

Qin Su, still shaken, opened the Second Practical Exercise plan and carefully prepared from the beginning, reviewing it at least six more times, hoping for good luck.

Not wanting to repeat the mistakes of his predecessors, he must execute his unique and unreplicable plan perfectly.

He Wenyuan quickly saw on the Forum that Qin Su's "unusual" behavior was being discussed, with everyone speculating whether Qin Su had some special way of dealing with Abia Firefly.

He Wenyuan didn't take it seriously.

He didn't care how Qin Su dealt with Abia Firefly; he simply contacted the old man and told Ruan Chengye to be prepared.

At 1:50 p. m. the following afternoon.

The students from all 118 classes were already waiting for Hyperspace Jump in their respective Spaceships, having been assembled by their Class Monitor.

Hard work pays off. Compared to the nervousness of their first real-world test, the freshmen of the Class of 26 have grown a lot after more than a month of intensive training, including the deaths and expulsions of classmates.

Their expectations for the Second Practical Exercise were more of a solemn and cautious one, and they were eager to test themselves in practice.

There are eight minutes left before the Spaceship launches.

The situation differed on each Spaceship during the waiting period.

(Class 18 was in high spirits and excited under the guidance of their Class Monitor, Lailisi.

(88) Class, led by Su Zhanghua walking around on the Spaceship, had a bunch of students walking around, making people dizzy.

On the (Class 7 Spaceship, the two sides were facing each other.

He Wenyuan was in a rare good mood today. Although he could have gone to the Spaceship's control room, he insisted on sitting in front of his classmates, leisurely watching Qiu Yongyan.

He finally vented his anger at the insincerity of being outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant by Class 7) during training.

Even if Qiu Yongyan wins the hearts of the people in Class 7 again, he will still be the Class Monitor. During the actual combat, the person who has more absolute control over the Spaceship than the Fourth Military Academy is He Wenyuan.

Qiu Yongyan: "..."

For some reason, He Wenyuan's gaze made his right eyelid twitch uncontrollably.

Feeling uneasy, Qiu Yongyan's heart was in his throat, and he dared not relax for a moment.

(Class 7: "..."

What are you looking at? Does He Wenyuan think that staring at them like this will make them listen to him?

What a joke! Boss Qin already reminded them that the true Class Monitor is in the hearts of the people.

(Class 6 Spaceship was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone looked serious and full of vigor. Their hands were neatly placed on either side of their seats, and the blue halos flowing between their arms showed that they had made preparations for the Hyperspace Jump in advance.

Even though Qin Su wasn't in front of them and didn't impose any requirements or restrictions on their behavior during the Hyperspace Jump, his actions Hyperspace Jump Qin Su still firmly imprinted in their minds.

At this moment, Qin Su in the cockpit must be like them, with his hands on either side of his seat, waiting cautiously for the Hyperspace Jump.

[Even though everyone looks so serious, the way they sit so rigidly in a row is... inexplicably cute.]

[Isn't what's even cuter is that even though it's not the first time this Spaceship has been used in actual combat, everyone is all close to the tail of the Spaceship, not sitting in the tail seats, but just approaching the tail seats?]

Why isn't Qin Su sitting with everyone? It's such a pity, he's missing someone in the group photo.

[Clearly imitating the sitting posture of the Boss 1 during their first real-world Hyperspace Jump, so obedient]

Great people are always lonely.

[It would be better if Qin Su and Class 7 Monitor He Wenyuan switched places. I don't understand why He Wenyuan insists on staying among the Class 7 people when he knows he is not well-liked. We haven't even reached the battlefield yet. He Wenyuan can't kill Qiu Yongyan now.]

Cockpit.

Relying on his position as Class Monitor, which granted him full control over the Spaceship, Qin Su used the Optical Brain to experience the feeling of piloting the Spaceship without sitting down.

His first time aboard Spaceship gave him the experience of being 'firmly handcuffed to the seat'.

For his second Spaceship ride, he must have experience standing freely during Hyperspace Jump.

Anyway, no one can overstep his authority and see his clumsy and childish actions.

While freely experiencing the cockpit, Qin Su glanced at the barrage of comments featuring his own name alongside those of Qiu Yongyan and He Wenyuan.

Is He Wenyuan planning to deal with Qiu Yongyan in actual combat?

'That's exactly what He Wenyuan was capable of doing.'

Qiu Yongyan was not the Class Monitor and was not in the 117 Class Monitor group. Qin Su asked Qiu Yongyan's Optical Brain in Class 7) to send him a short message: Be careful of He Wenyuan.

Unsure whether He Wenyuan would ultimately make a move, Qin Su left no trace of himself.

Qiu Yongyan was confronting He Wenyuan when his Optical Brain terminal displayed a message.

Be careful of He Wenyuan.

The person who sent the message has no Identity ID displayed and is not on the friend list, so there is no way to find them.

Qiu Yongyan: "?"

Who sent it? Qiu Yongyan, full of doubts, somehow recalled what Qin Su had said to Class 7 He Wenyuan get lost. The scales in his heart tipped in favor of Qin Su.

There were quite a few students standing around Qiu Yongyan, but when Qiu Yongyan opened the Optical Brain skin, they all spontaneously looked away.

Regardless of whether it is Qin Su or not, only by surviving this actual battle can one confide in Qin Su and personally verify the truth.

Qiu Yongyan a deep breath, shut down the Optical Brain skin, and looked at He Wenyuan with even greater vigilance.

[Who's the bastard who won't live to see today who posted this? Step forward! Damn it, you ruined our precious thing!]

[... Qin Su?]

[Rolling away]

[Waaaaah, thank you so much, kind anonymous person! Finally, I don't have to worry about our Ah Yan dying anymore!]

[Hehe, don't get too excited yet]

At 2:00 PM sharp, the Spaceship took off and left its original position.

At 2:07, the Spaceship began its Hyperspace Jump.

The familiar jolt came, Qin Su steadied himself. He acted first and reported later, changing the Jump Point closest to Abia Firefly Liersenia 1698, to the Jump Point closest to Red-Winged Pheasant Crows, Liersenia 1699.

To facilitate the Purge of the Zerg on various planets, each planet will construct Jump Points in areas close to the various types of Zerg.

Planets with better economic and technological development tend to build more Jump Points. While Lierse Niya's technological level isn't top-tier among planets, its economic development is among the best due to its unique energy sources, so it naturally has many Jump Points built for the Military Academy to Purge the Zerg.

Changes to the Jump Point will be displayed on the Jump Channel.

Upon seeing the sudden change of the Hyperspace Jump destination of Class 6), the Class Advisor came down to see their respective classes off were first surprised, and then all looked at the Class Advisor of Class 6).

"???"

Not only have they changed their previous tactics against Abia Fireflies, but now they've even changed the Jump Points.

They even moved it to Hyperspace Jump landing platform closer to the Zerg Purge by the senior students?

Is it really that wild?!

Zhang Minglang's glasses nearly fell off. "...?!"

After calming down and noticing the gazes from all directions, Zhang Minglang realized he wasn't cheerful or bright at all. He thought to himself, "Stop looking, I can't stop you anyway!"

"I don't know, I don't know, I don't understand." Before his colleagues could even speak, Zhang Minglang issued three consecutive denials. After this smooth little combo, Zhang Minglang simply turned and walked away, waving goodbye.

The other Class Advisor: "..."

After what seemed like an eternity, the Class Advisor's voice finally broke the silence.

"It's Qin Su, huh? We really can't control that."

"That's true..."

"Hey? Old Wang, why are you looking so worried? It's Qin Su from Class 6 who changed the Jump Point, not your Class 7." Zhang Minglang should be the one who's worried.

"You don't understand." The Class Advisor of Class 7 had a crying face. The situation in Class 7 was complicated, and this time, no one knew how many people would be able to return safely.

[W-Was this so sudden?]

[Did Qin Su make a mistake?]

[... Even if the whole world is wrong, the Boss 1 can't be wrong.]

[No wonder he practiced with Red-Winged Pheasant Crows before, could it be that all those he practiced with were... No way? Those are insect -Purge creatures belonging to the higher-level students! Has Qin Su gone mad?]

[Every class has its own problems, and the Class Advisor Class 7) is really pitiful]

[It's definitely fake. A seven-day Purge only targets one type of insect. Qin Su used several types of insects as training insects, so how could they possibly Purge all out? The Spaceship didn't even have enough weapons this time.]

[Although Qin Su is very strong, let's not exaggerate too much. You fans should watch out or you'll regret it.]

Am I the only one concerned about who sent the message to Qiu Yongyan the Plague God was trying to harm him?

The announcement inside the Spaceship sounded as the Jump Point changed, and after it ended, the people in Class 6 looked at each other in bewilderment.

The Jump Point is wrong; they're clearly heading to the Liersenia Jump Point 1698.

' The Jump Point Liersenia 1699 does not contain the Abiya bug, their target for this Purge operation!'

(Class 6, Qin Su, who was invisible in the cockpit, seemed to see through their thoughts from afar. His familiar, low, and cold voice entered their ears through the Communication Channel.

"The plan has changed." Qin Su, who was standing in the cockpit, seemingly oblivious to everyone else, experiencing the Hyperspace Jump while trying to regain his balance, blatantly lied.

In fact, going to the Jump Point 1698 as required by the school was contrary to his original plan.
