Chapter 83
"Ah?"
He Muzhi's face showed obvious surprise. Was Qin Su saying that Ruan Chengye's matter was related to He Wenyuan?!
How did Qin Su find out? And how did He Wenyuan persuade Ruan Chengye to utter the name "Samuel" before his death to slander Samuel?
No matter how you look at it, Ruan Chengye doesn't seem like the type to obediently listen to others.
For a moment, He Muzhi couldn't quite understand and fell into confusion.
He wasn't calling for Samuel.
Qin Su had been struggling to find a suitable opportunity to tell He Muzhi the truth, and now that He Muzhi had asked him about it, since it was also beneficial to him, he naturally told him everything he knew.
"Ha?"
As He Muzhi pondered, another question mark popped into his mind: This can't be, right? Even if He Wenyuan knew other Samuels, he was sure that the lunatic He Wenyuan only hated the Samuel he knew.
Qin Su: "To be precise, Ruan Chengye was calling out the 'Combat Suit' activation prompt."
Ruan Chengye's incident caused a great stir. Many people knew that he was not bound to Optical Brain, so he could not use the Optical Brain to connect to the Combat Suit for mind control. At that time, he did not have the strength to operate with his hands, so he could only start it with voice.
He Muzhi: ""
He had considered many possibilities, but he never imagined it would be like this.
He finally understood how He Wenyuan had "persuaded" Ruan Chengye to frame him; it wasn't "persuasion" at all, but rather deception.
Setting something destined for destruction to the name of someone you hate... that's something He Wenyuan is capable of doing.
"Class Monitor, thank you for telling me all this." After calming herself and composing her complex emotions, she took a deep breath. "Class Monitor, could you tell me how you knew all this? If it's inconvenient, then..."
Qin Su glanced casually at the comments section and replied to He Muzhi with a single word, "Watch."
Before He Muzhi could speak, Qin Su added, with his own bias. "Besides you, he used the names of the other three people extensively on countless pieces of discarded goods."
"Furthermore..." Qin Su didn't 'let go' of He Muzhi. Seeing He Muzhi's disgusted expression, as if he'd swallowed a fly, Qin Su also told him, along with the information he'd seen in the comments, "Destroy your personal belongings completely, to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands."
Qin Su didn't explicitly say who the "person with ulterior motives" was, but given the premise, He Muzhi guessed it was He Wenyuan almost instantly, his face turning ashen.
'?!'
'Look? Simply by looking, or by looking at the data obtained from the investigation of He Wenyuan?'
'If it's the latter, then the fact that Qin Su's people could investigate something so private means that Qin Su knew He Wenyuan would send Ruan Chengye to cause trouble, yet he still didn't take it seriously and never considered them a threat from the beginning.'
'Truly a strong person.'
'Besides, how could He Wenyuan... so perverted!'
Upon seeing He Muzhi's inner monologue, the viewers in the live chat repeatedly expressed their agreement. However He Wenyuan's fans, seeing comments detrimental to their idol, angrily reported, complained, and downvoted the comments.
[The value of the Boss 1's omniscience continues to rise.]
[She's still too powerful, so powerful that she even knows He Wenyuan's secret quirks.]
[I also want the ability to see through other people's thoughts at a glance (Lemon)]
[As everyone knows, the eyes of a powerful figure are like X-rays; all demons and monsters will reveal their true forms.]
Backstab
[We're not even friends, so why betray me? Have some shame, okay?]
[Dad's clockwork comment: Did I break a cardinal rule? Heh, if you've got the guts, report me and come out and argue. I wish the person who reports me will be a stinking rat hiding in the gutter forever, never seeing the light of day, and that lifting the lid reveals a hidden twin tail.]
After processing the information he had received, He Muzhi looked at Qin Su with burning eyes, his disgust for He Wenyuan growing even stronger.
Qin Su: "..."
What kind of look was He Muzhi?
"You should go back to your Rest Pod," Qin Su said calmly, suppressing his curiosity.
"I'm sorry, I've taken up too much of your time, Class Monitor. Goodbye." He Muzhi said apologetically.
It's okay, goodnight.
Qin Su switched the skin page to be visible to others, and took the opportunity to turn his gaze away from He Muzhi.
He Muzhi glanced at Qin Su and entered the data from his full-body scan into the Class 6's collective data. Without wasting any more of Qin Su's and other classmates' time, he quickly left.
Not long after He Muzhi left, the other students came out of the Rest Pod after being notified by Qin Su.
At 11:50 a. m., Qin Su sent the students' directional observation and scanning results in the (6) group about whether they were parasitized by the Lasbit Insect.
Along with the results, the schedule for the next four days was also sent.
After sending the message, Qin Su shut down his Optical Brain.
He was the one who brought them out, and he needed to make sure everyone was free from parasitism. Now, they could all relax, and it was time for them to continue 'scavenging' while everyone was in the Rest Pods.
His garbage-collecting business cannot be interrupted until he has sufficient firepower.
Rest Pod, even during the day when Purge the Lasbit Insect, the students of Qin Su (Class 6 were still unsure, fearing that they would still be parasitized under so many eyes. It wasn't until they saw the results Qin Su posted in the group that they were finally at ease.
With their worries resolved, everyone's attention naturally turned to the arrangements for the final four days.
'Four days off, free to do as you please, but you must return to the Spaceship before 10 PM.'
'During the seven-day operation, they had more than half of their time entirely for rest?!'
No one understands the value of Qin Su better than Class 6!
Because the Class Monitor did not clearly tell them whether they could move around freely tonight, no one in Class 6, no matter how excited they were, left the Rest Pod and waited expectantly for the sunrise tomorrow.
Then they will be free.
The Rest Pod can confine the bodies of the Class 6 members, but it cannot confine their active minds.
Unable to leave the classroom, (Class 6 members did not want Qin Su to see their childish appearance, so they secretly created a group of 499 People and started a group video call.
Without Qin Su, they let loose and dared to say anything.
"Four days, family, a full four days of rest! If word gets out, everyone will be grinding their teeth in anger."
"Four kinds of insects in three days, an unprecedented achievement! And they even gave us four days of free time to experience the local customs and culture. Am I seeing things?!"
"Waaaaah, besides Qin Su, who else would treat us like this?"
"I'm going crazy for my Class Monitor Optical Brain!"
"Get lost, what did I do to you?" the Optical Brain retorted.
"I love my Class Monitor! My Class Monitor loves me!"
"Draw your sword! Before the Class Monitor, there is no brotherhood, only enemies."
"Here's the question: how many Warships did the Class Monitor send this time? Did anyone count them?"
"888 ships. Use your Optical Brain to count them, and don't ask every question!"
"Wow... that's equivalent to several of our class's Warships! Compared to our Class Monitor, the school is really stingy."
"Dear classmates, such a good thing and such a happy mood should naturally be shared with others, so that they won't think we're not generous, don't you think?"
"Hehe, to be honest, I've even prepared close-up pictures and videos of the Lasbit Insect."
"That's right, when we're so favored by our Class Monitor, we can't forget to do good deeds and help the other students improve their immunity to the Zerg."
After the video ended, (Class 6) students started posting short essays on various platforms.

Ruan Chengye's Death Scene#
#biubiubiu~#
'Qin Su' is undoubtedly the traffic driver of StarNet. Once posted on the Forum, it attracted countless StarNet celebrities and influencers to repost it.
Images of the Zerg and any weapons, once reposted from the Forum to other social media platforms on StarNet, are automatically Mosaic by StarNet's Moderation Bot.
The robot sometimes acts erratically, and the Mosaic it applies is inaccurate, sometimes mistaking a person for a weapon or for an insect.
Someone posted a picture of the Lasbit worm king's topmost breeding coelenterate eggs, which was identified as 'top-grade, high-quality rice,' prompting many ordinary citizens on the internet to scrutinize the image in the comments section.
[Another disastrous scene of artificial intelligence malfunction]
[So this is the top-grade rice that the wealthy and powerful eat? I'm not cut out for it (doge)]
[SOS]
[As expected of the powerful and wealthy, they dare to eat anything and can stomach anything; their appetites are so large they're practically nauseating.]
[No wonder I'm poor, it turns out I can't afford this 'high-end rice' (sneer)]
[Pomelo leaves]
[Vegetable leaves]
[High-quality rice's reputation is being unfairly damaged]
[(Disinfectant sprayed on Optical Brain)]
[I don't have a good appetite, so I won't eat.]
[If you don't eat, I won't eat either (awkward. jpg)]
If you're not going to eat it, then I won't eat it either.
The Fourth Military Academy Forum shows students high-definition, uncensored pictures and videos.
Qin Su's cold, disdainful demeanor as he stood alone before hundreds of Warships was trending wildly on the Forums.
[I'd call this Qin Su's MVP settlement day]
[He knelt down as soon as he saw me. If I hadn't knelt down to film these videos, I wouldn't have been able to watch my live stream of Qin Su leading me to eat Giant Man-Eating Worms.]
[Why are you eating and taking things away? You're dreaming!]
[A natural-born dom, I'm a bit of that...]
[What strange thing has snuck in here?]
[... Damn, 888 Warships plus the more than 100 ships from this (Class 6, such a dense bombing, no wonder it was all done in one day, it's like they were throwing bombs for free]
[@Fourth Military Academy, could you give us that many too? We don't want to fight for seven days straight; I also want to enjoy the feeling of being bombed like that (feeling wronged)]
[Dream on! Military spending is a huge expense. Do you really think our school is as wealthy and powerful as Qin Su, able to waste money like that? Our school is very frugal.]
[I don't understand, so how did they manage to keep everyone from being infected? I can understand that they were far away at high altitude during the bombing phase and couldn't be reached, but how come no one was infected during that final, thorough search? The danger of the Lasbit Insect lies precisely in the final cleanup; people often get infected during that process.]
[What? One round? We clearly conducted two rounds of thorough searches.]
Didn't you watch the video carefully? Because someone was watching us from above while we were cleaning, constantly monitoring our safety.
[As expected of Qin Su, MVP for life, once an MVP, always an MVP]
[Lifelong? Ha! He talks like he's immortal. With all that meddling and thinking so deeply, he'll probably die before any of you here.]
[If you had sewer stuffed in your mouth, would you be spewing filth?]
[I'm speechless. How can there be such a disgusting bug in the world?]
[Biubiubiu wasn't the sound of weapons firing, but rather the onomatopoeia of the Rasbit worm king's reproductive chamber being slashed open by a saber, causing the eggs and larvae to be squeezed out. You (6) class are really disgusting! Yueyueyue How am I supposed to look at you the same way again?]
[I can't hold it in anymore, so here's a vomiting section for everyone to come in and vent (Abyss Black Hole. jpg)]
[Such incredible achievements, how many Star Coins must I have earned? (starry-eyed) Waaah, money always seems to flow to those who don't need it!]
Whether the school allows it or not is another matter.
[The school might not allow it for others, but this is Qin Su. Does the school want to experience being besieged by 888 Warships and feel the perspective of when the Lasbit Insect was bombarded?]
[888? That's too narrow-minded. Such a large investment is only for dealing with a mere Lasbit Insect; what would that amount to for the entire school? It's like Warship!]
[Fourth Military Academy: Not laughing. jpg]
[If you don't understand, why does it have to be the number '8'? How much advertising fee did it pay Qin? Are other numbers not good enough?]
[Perhaps... just for good luck?]
[I really would thank you. With such overwhelming firepower, what's auspiciousness? Don't impose your feudal superstitious ideas on Boss Su, okay!]
Why would that devil Ruan Chengye go after Qin Su? Isn't that just courting death?
[They've been provoked.]
[Serves them right for kicking a hornet's nest]
[It's so satisfying to see him being put to death; I can't stand just imprisoning him instead of taking his life.]
[I'm not pretending anymore. When will Class 6 implement an 'exchange student' program? Let me go in and act out the daily life of Class 6 student for a few days.]
I'm willing to pay 10,000 Star Coins for a spot.
[Twenty thousand.]
[30,000.]
[Are you crazy to spend so much money on something so risky...? I'll give you 100,000.]
[?]
[???]
The popularity of 'Qin Su' continues to soar, and it's only a matter of time before it alarms the school and the Federation government.
Aiseboer: "..."
Netizens saw Qin Su's power and the luck of saving the galaxy in Class 6 previous life, but he saw the tragic fate of countless 'Star Coins' leaving him in the near future.
Judging from the results posted by Class 6), Qin Su killed far more insects than all the other members of Class 6) combined.
Of course, even the student with the worst kill count in Class 6), taken out individually, still had many times more kill counts than any student in the other 117 classes.
They should have been worried about the excessive number of kills by the other students in Class 6), but the total number of kills they had all combined was no match for Qin Su.
This means that, specifically targeting Qin Su, the Fourth Military Academy's request for a significantly larger amount of Star Coins from the Federation this time is substantial.
The magnitude increased.
Before Qin Su transferred to the Seventh Military Academy, after each combat exercise, the school could apply for a satisfactory amount of Star Coins, after deducting the one-time compensation for deceased students and the kill count exchange bonus.
This time...
His hands trembled slightly as he submitted his application to the Federation.
Even if you're trembling, you still have to apply.
The only good news that brought relief to Aiseboer was that Qin Su announced that Class 6) would rest for the next four days and would not increase the number of kills.
The amount requested this time was too large. In order to avoid delays in the Federation's disbursement, Aiseboer seized the opportunity and, based on the current number of kills in Class 6), estimated the number of kills in the other 117 classes and immediately made the request.
The person responsible for liaising with Aiseboer received the request on their Optical Brain terminal and immediately sent a video call.
A higher-ranking official can have absolute power, Aiseboer didn't have the courage to refuse.
The moment Aiseboer saw the other person's triangular eyes after the call connected, he heard them yell, "Are you crazy or am I crazy?"
In a panic, the video was switched to 3D mode by the other party. Aiseboer watched as the other party's enormous body with a tiny head paced irritably back and forth in his study.
As they walked, they uttered a series of angry complaints.
"That much? Do you know how exorbitant that price is?!"
"Did you think money came from the wind?"
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
"I'm not saying this to be mean, but your appetites are way too big. The Federation appointed you as the Fourth Military Academy Principal, and what have you done? Do you have any respect for the Federation? Who gave your Fourth Military Academy the audacity...?"
In front of Wolf, suppressing the urge to roll his eyes, Aiseboer finally found a chance to interject, forcing a smile as he said, "Qin Su."
Wolf remains the same as ever, regarding entertainment gossip as a low-end hobby, his mind only concerned with 'Federation Affairs'. It's clear he missed the recent StarNet public opinion, thus unaware of Qin Su's actions in this combat exercise.
One name, and you can easily master Wolf.
Wolf, who had previously thought he had been fooled by Aiseboer, suddenly fell silent, his pacing body freezing in place.
Aiseboer seized the opportunity and forwarded several important Forum to him.
How can it be that Military Academies allow their students to freely exchange ideas on Forums because they want to give them freedom?
There is strength in numbers, and the school aims to gather useful information from what they say.
You'll understand once you see it.
Wolf will never forget how Qin Su tricked the Federation, which led to him being blamed and reprimanded several times.
Since it concerned Qin Su, he dared not speak recklessly and stopped to look at the reposts he had received on his Optical Brain.
Twenty long minutes passed before Wolf forcibly looked away from the post and addressed Aiseboer again, his voice softening.
"Aiseboer, this... is a bit too much, isn't it?"
"Dang Ran, I don't mean to refuse, I just think... you and I know, the entire Federation knows, Qin Su is not short of money at all, so do you think it's possible to reduce it a bit?"
Aiseboer thought to himself, 'Why are you telling me this? If you're so capable, go talk to Qin Su yourself,' but outwardly he feigned weakness: 'I'd like to, but that's Qin Su. I really can't do anything about it.'
"As you just saw, Qin Su definitely has his own private army. For a small combat mission, he doesn't mind exposing his Private Fleet, casually deploying so many Warships in a way that's completely unavailable on the market. But judging from the explosion effects in the video, it's clear that they're bombs made with the latest manufacturing technology."
"What does this mean? It means that the Qin Family not only owns Private Military Factory, but they are also not afraid of anyone finding out about it."
"Who dares to say that? Qin Su's behavior at the Fourth Military Academy was reasonable and compliant, but ours is against the rules. If we really do that, it could cause serious trouble for the Federation. I'm afraid."
Wolf fell silent. "..."
After an unknown amount of time, Aiseboer heard Wolf's weary voice again.
"Tell me, what exactly is Qin Su's purpose in wasting the Qin Family's own manpower, resources, and money to contribute to the Federation's insect eradication efforts? He clearly... has everything, and knows everything, so why is he coming to a school run by the Federation?"
Thinking of the Fourth Military Academy students' attitude towards Qin Su, Aiseboer whispered, "I suspect Qin Su is here to win people over."
Wolf: "?"
Aiseboer: "You know who He Muzhi's mother and grandfather are, right? You know Xuan Jingxi's talent in Warships and weapons, right? You also know who Raymond's parents are, right? And what does Sophia's family do...?"
"Stop!"
Wolf feared he would hear blasphemous remarks about the Federation if he continued listening. "I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about."
"This cannot continue in future operations. This time, the Star Coins will be approved normally. As for how you will prevent similar incidents from happening again, figure that out yourselves."
Before Aiseboer could speak, Wolf on the other end of the video ended with a grim expression.
Aiseboer: "..."
Those who haven't climbed to the top are indeed most annoyed by leaders who act impulsively and without thinking.
At least this 'crisis' has been resolved.
"Tsk..." As if thinking of something, Aiseboer smiled and mentally edited the message on his Optical Brain terminal, sending it to everyone who was 'on the same boat' as him.
I almost forgot, within the Fourth Military Academy, for most people, he was the one in charge. Wolf threw a difficult question at him without warning, and he could naturally pass it on to others.
Qin Su brought the 'trash' he had collected and the glands of the Rasbit Insect King back to the real world. He didn't linger there for long and quickly returned.
It was already 3 a. m. when Qin Su returned to the comic world. Having used the gland on Ruan Chengye, he didn't forget to exercise. While pacing back and forth in the rest pod, he imitated 777 and actively invaded He Wenyuan's computer with his computer.
The Rest Pod are 100% soundproof; as long as the door is closed, even if the ground shakes violently inside, you won't hear it outside.
Using technology to hack into surveillance systems and search for what one needs online was also part of Qin Su's regular training program in the Real World.
Previously, Qin Su had saved the entire process of each of these things in the Comic World 777 using his Optical Brain, and frequently observed it during his rare free time. Now he has gained some insights.
[What are you doing?]
Is its presence really that weak? It doesn't even need this kind of thing; the host probably doesn't need it anymore!
Qin Su, taking a moment to casually reply to 777, said, "Let's hack into He Wenyuan's optical computer and see if we can find anything useful."
