Chapter Summaries

Qin Su led Class 6 through a three-thousand-meter run and prepared to begin simulated combat training. When He Wenyuan brought Class 7 along to copy Class 6’s program and shift responsibility for any mishap onto Qin Su, Qin Su confronted him and grabbed his neck.

• Qin Su finished the three-thousand-meter run first, then recorded the times of Class 6 students as they reported to him.
• Class 6 gathered around Qin Su, and he led all five hundred students toward the simulated combat area.
• He Wenyuan ordered Class 7 to follow Class 6, intending to copy their training program and make Qin Su responsible if anything went wrong.
• Qin Su stopped the procession, sent Class 6 ahead to wait in the simulated combat room, and walked toward He Wenyuan and Class 7.
• Qin Su reached He Wenyuan and closed his fingers around his neck.

Qin Su strangled He Wenyuan until he released him, then warned Class 7 to choose a capable class monitor; Qiu Yongyan agreed to challenge He Wenyuan’s authority. Back with Class 6, Qin Su began a sand-based combat exercise and entered the simulation himself, planning to become the enemy bugs.

• Qin Su grabbed He Wenyuan by the throat, lifted him off the ground, and released him after warning him to stop following and copying his training.
• Qin Su told Class 7 that a capable person should lead under special circumstances, and Qiu Yongyan agreed to try taking over as monitor.
• He Wenyuan ordered Class 7 to complete a thousand heavy-object throws, prompting the students to rally behind Qiu Yongyan.
• Class 6 investigated the forum posts about Qin Su lifting He Wenyuan, then formed ranks when Qin Su returned in his Combat Suit.
• Qin Su transformed the simulated battlefield into a sand terrain, assigned each student positions to memorize, and sent them into the exercise.
• Qin Su entered the simulation with Class 6, intending to take the form of thousands of bugs.

Qin Su put Class 6 through a brutal thirty-minute simulated combat exercise, secretly controlling a flock of Red-Winged Pheasant Crows to force the students to face danger alone. The first round ended with the class shaken and unaware that Qin Su had been the flock’s leader, and they turned toward him after their brief complaints.

• Qin Su isolated the students and unleashed a realistic desert sandstorm, forcing them to navigate between assigned points without help from classmates.
• Qin Su sent 1,000 simulated Red-Winged Pheasant Crows after Class 6, repeatedly killing and respawning students to make them confront their fear.
• He Muzhi fought off four crows, then charged at Qin Su’s giant crow form and was swallowed after Qin Su dodged his shot and counterattacked.
• Qin Su continued directing the flock until the thirty-minute session ended, then returned the mimicking devices and hid his role from the students.
• Class 6 recovered from the simulation, complained about being eaten and killed, and turned toward Qin Su after their brief break began.

Qin Su secretly controlled waves of Mimicry Aircraft as Zerg to exhaust Class 6 during six rounds of simulated combat, while his classmates mistook his actions for thoughtful training. After learning the truth, Class 6 felt guilty about their earlier praise and insults, and Qin Su noticed a familiar Life Points countdown above a prisoner escorted onto the train.

• After the first round, Class 6 noticed Qin Su’s name was missing from the map and assumed he had finished his task too quickly to be recorded.
• Qin Su increased the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows across six rounds, using thousands of Mimicry Aircraft to attack the 499 students while concealing that he was on the Zerg side.
• A teacher noticed Class 6 had drawn an unusually large number of Mimicry Aircraft, but Qin Su had locked the room and left before the teacher arrived.
• The teacher confirmed the aircraft data with He Muzhi, and Sophia realized Qin Su had been fighting against the class as the Zerg.
• Class 6 understood that Qin Su had controlled all the simulated enemies himself and regretted praising him, blaming him, and insulting the bugs during training.
• On the train, Qin Su saw four Federation soldiers escorting a black-haired man streaked with white, whose Life Points countdown matched the one he could see.

Qin Su learned that Ruan Chengye was a former system host seeking to steal 777, while He Wenyuan planted suspicion in Ruan Chengye by showing him Qin Su’s photo. After Ruan Chengye was abducted by interstellar pirates, Qin Su began testing the sixteen artificial glands developed in the Real World.

• Qin Su identified Ruan Chengye as an Earthling and former system host who wanted to steal 777, then learned from 777 that Ruan Chengye had killed its previous host.
• Qin Su realized that retained Life Points could slow aging, but after indulging in the idea, he rested in a hibernation pod because his head still hurt.
• Class 6 left training distressed by Qin Su’s silent disapproval, and students from other classes crowded them for an explanation before the conversation turned into a teasing argument about whose class president Qin Su was.
• He Wenyuan showed Ruan Chengye a photo of Qin Su and falsely claimed he knew the Earthling Ruan Chengye sought, leaving Ruan Chengye agitated and suspicious.
• Interstellar pirates abducted Ruan Chengye during a jump from Ikelios Planet, prompting the Federation to activate his uniform and collar’s self-destruct systems, issue a wanted notice, and investigate a possible traitor.
• In the Real World, Qin Su ordered the research team to begin testing its sixteen rudimentary artificial glands on him.

Qin Su tested the Zerg glands on himself and learned their pheromones affected Earthlings, then planned to test the unscented glands on He Wenyuan. In Comic World, he discovered He Wenyuan had turned Ruan Chengye against him and drove Class 6 through increasingly punishing combat simulations, before returning to the Real World to receive a new examination report.

• Qin Su completed two rounds of trials with sixteen Zerg glands, recorded his reactions, and found that their pheromones affected Earthlings.
• Qin Su asked the research team to prepare unscented glands and observation forms so he could test them on He Wenyuan, then went to class with a severe headache.
• Qin Su learned from the comments that He Wenyuan had freed Ruan Chengye and encouraged him to target Qin Su, but concluded he was safe at the Fourth Military Academy for now.
• Qin Su misunderstood Class 6's nervousness, then learned they had begun extra training to improve before their next simulated combat exercise.
• Qin Su changed the simulated bugs and environment, repeatedly defeating Class 6 and prompting the freshmen and class monitors to train harder.
• Qin Su returned to the Real World exhausted, and Jiang Cheng brought him a newly issued physical examination report.

Qin Su learned that using a Zerg gland caused harmful physical changes in him, while He Wenyuan’s body showed no lasting effects. After preparing weapons for the upcoming exercise, Qin Su drew the hardest opponent for Class 6: the Abia Firefly.

• Jiang Cheng gave Qin Su medical reports showing that strenuous exercise could counteract the changes caused by using the Zerg gland.
• Qin Su checked He Wenyuan’s medical records and found that his physical data had barely changed after exposure to the gland.
• Qin Su discovered that military schools across the interstellar world had joined the extra-training trend inspired by his actions.
• Qin Su inspected and stored weapons intended for the practical combat exercise, using the Life Points he had gained from the training trend.
• Qin Su drew number 1 for Class 6, assigning them the dangerous Abia Firefly, which reproduced by exploding after embracing live prey.
• Zhang Minglang told Class 6 to help move live creatures onto the spaceship, but Qin Su interrupted him and said there was no need.

Qin Su arranged for Class 6’s spaceship to carry extra weapons, then secretly changed its destination during the jump from the Abia Fireflies to the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows. As Class 6 realized they were heading to the wrong Jump Point, Qin Su announced that the plan had changed.

• Qin Su asked Zhang Minglang to replace the live animals aboard Class 6’s spaceship with weapons, and Zhang approved the request after recognizing Qin Su’s distinctive mark on the diagram.
• A StarNet argument over Qin Su’s unusual preparations drew attention and boosted his Life Points, while 777 explained how seven previous hosts had died for failing to attract viewers or locals.
• After learning that He Wenyuan might target Qiu Yongyan, Qin Su sent Qiu an anonymous warning to be careful of He Wenyuan.
• When Class 6’s spaceship began its jump, Qin Su changed its destination from Liersenia 1698 to Liersenia 1699, near the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows.
• The homeroom teachers reacted with alarm to the destination change, and Qin Su told Class 6 that there had been a change of plans.

Qin Su brought Class 6 to Jump Point 1699 and prepared them to clear out the heat-resistant Abia Fireflies while keeping his plan secret. He divided the students into two teams, leaving He Muzhi and Raymond to lead them as Ruan Chengye waited at the wrong jump point.

• Qin Su kept his plan from Class 6, attached technology-enhanced pheromone glands to himself, and practiced standing steadily during the jump.
• After the ship reached Liersenia Jump Point 1698, Qin Su led the helmetless students outside, where the extreme heat made them quickly put on their helmets.
• Qin Su gave Class 6 five minutes to admire the luxurious platform, then deployed warships at Jump Point 1699 and began assigning teams.
• Qin Su named Raymond captain of Team 2 and sent its weaker students to prepare the operation, while He Muzhi became captain of Team 1 with the rest of the class.
• Ruan Chengye waited in hiding at Jump Point 1698 for Qin Su, unaware that Qin Su had changed the destination to Jump Point 1699.

Qin Su split Class 6 into teams and set a plan to lure Red-Winged Pheasant Crows and Abia Fireflies together while he dealt with Ruan Chengye. As the two swarms converged, Qin Su ordered Team 1 to retreat, leaving him between the approaching insects.

• Qin Su sent Team 1 ahead alone at extraordinary speed, then changed course toward Jump Point 1698 to intercept Ruan Chengye.
• Qin Su found Ruan Chengye hiding in the sand, tagged his Combat Suit, stole his concealed spaceship, and started a livestream.
• Raymond led Team 2 to lay Ground Film near the Abia Fireflies' habitat while He Muzhi led Team 1 to lure Red-Winged Pheasant Crows away from their territory.
• Team 1 drew the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows into pursuit, while Qin Su exposed his scent and led the Abia Fireflies toward Team 2's location.
• Qin Su brought the two swarms together near Team 1 and ordered his classmates to retreat, leaving himself between the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows and the Abia Fireflies.

Qin Su used his pheromones to stop the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows from escaping, allowing the Abia Fireflies to destroy them above the Ground Film. After the explosions, he ordered Class 6 to attack the larvae that had spilled onto the film, and fired his Particle Pulse Cannon.

• As the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows turned to flee from the Abia Fireflies, Qin Su ordered Team 1 to distribute weapons to Team 2.
• Qin Su piloted his warship behind the crows and released pheromones that disrupted them, leaving them vulnerable to the Abia Fireflies.
• The Abia Fireflies wrapped around the crows and exploded, while Class 6 watched and recorded the display.
• After the explosions, Qin Su ordered Class 6 to attack and linked the warships' lights to illuminate the Ground Film and the larvae crawling over the crows' remains.
• Qin Su fired his Particle Pulse Cannon at the larvae.

Qin Su led Class 6 in wiping out the Abia Larvae, then secretly set out alone to hunt for a high-tier Zerg gland and get the exercise he needed. Meanwhile, He Wenyuan discovered Class 6’s triumphant forum posts and tried to reach Ruan Chengye, who was already heading toward the commotion to find Qin Su.

• Qin Su and Class 6 bombarded the Abia Larvae until his detector confirmed that none remained, then Team 2 helped him clear and dismantle the ground cover.
• Qin Su split the class into teams, sending Team 1 back to rest and ordering everyone to assemble at nine the next morning; the students realized he intended to continue their campaign against stronger opponents.
• Class 6 students flooded social platforms with boastful posts about Qin Su’s operation, while Qin Su’s Life Points rose and he went to sleep after arranging for the system to wake him at one in the morning.
• Qin Su secretly took his apology Warship to the insect habitats, first cleaned up the battlefield, then entered a Red-Winged Pheasant Crow nest containing a single high-tier insect.
• He Wenyuan saw the forum posts, lost his temper, and repeatedly tried to contact Ruan Chengye, who had left on foot toward the source of the earlier commotion, intent on killing Qin Su.

Qin Su fought through a Red-Winged Pheasant Crow nest, collected its Gland and meat, then destroyed the nest and lured Abia Fireflies with the meat. After returning to the spaceship, he led Class 6 away from Jump Point 1699 at 9:06, while Ruan Chengye was left searching in the wrong place and Class 7 began a new assignment involving Qiu Yongyan.

• Ruan Chengye trudged through the desert toward an explosion, believing Class 6 was nearby, while Qin Su fought and captured a Red-Winged Pheasant Crow in its nest.
• Qin Su harvested the Red-Winged Pheasant Crow's Gland and meat, blew up the nest, and flew away without letting Ruan Chengye see him.
• Qin Su used the fresh meat to attract the remaining Abia Fireflies near Jump Point 1689, then returned to the spaceship before dawn and treated his wounds.
• Ruan Chengye reached a landscape covered in droppings and found no sign of Class 6; Zhang Minglang defended Qin Su to Principal Aiseboer as the school worried about the cost of Class 6's insect kills.
• Qin Su assembled Class 6 and led them away from Jump Point 1699 at 9:06, while He Wenyuan ordered Qiu Yongyan to stay by his side.

He Wenyuan forced Qiu Yongyan to stay behind and command Class 7’s operation, while Qin Su led Class 6 to hunt Giant Man-Eating Worms and tried to keep local residents safe. As a worm charged the residents, Qin Su threw his Double-Headed Curved Dagger to cut it down.

• He Wenyuan threatened Class 7’s access to ships and weapons until Qiu Yongyan agreed to remain behind and arrange the extermination operation.
• Qiu Yongyan pretended to accept He Wenyuan’s explanation and assigned Class 7’s students to their operation.
• Qin Su led Class 6 to the Giant Man-Eating Worm habitat, gave the students time to eat and rest, and then began the hunt.
• Qin Su and the students lured worms from the sand and rock walls, then attacked them while Qin Su warned classmates to watch the approaching local residents.
• A slender Giant Man-Eating Worm charged at residents near the battlefield, and Qin Su threw his Double-Headed Curved Dagger, slicing into its side.

Qin Su saved the local residents from a Giant Man-Eating Worm, then used his saber skills to cut the huge worms into pieces they could carry. After secretly taking the largest worm’s pheromone gland and letting his classmates assume he could not get tired, he left the residents to carry the meat and called Class 6 over to eat grilled meat.

• Qin Su caught his spinning Double-Headed Curved Blade and killed a Giant Man-Eating Worm before it could reach the local residents.
• After Class 6 and Qin Su exterminated the worms, the residents rushed onto the battlefield to claim the meat.
• Qin Su assembled his sabers into a long blade, cut up the largest worm, and secretly stored its pheromone gland.
• Qin Su helped Class 6 cut the remaining oversized worms into carryable pieces while hiding how tired his right hand had become.
• Qin Su left the residents to carry the meat, then told his classmates to come over because they had wanted grilled meat.

Qin Su led Class 6 through a successful mission, then shared roasted Giant Man-Eating Worm meat with his classmates before they returned to Jump Point 1698. As Class 6 celebrated its results, Class 7 remained in a fierce battle, where He Wenyuan pressured Qiu Yongyan to take command.

• Qin Su divided Giant Man-Eating Worm meat among Class 6 and helped build a grill from Military Sabers, then cautiously tried a piece and found it safe to eat.
• Class 6 roasted and ate the meat while Sand Weasels gathered in their air-conditioned room to gnaw on discarded worm mouthparts.
• He Muzhi reflected on the hardship of the local residents as Class 6 packed up and left the battlefield.
• At Jump Point 1698, Qin Su told Class 6 to gather at noon the next day, and the students later showed off their kill-count results on StarNet.
• He Wenyuan found Raymond practicing with a Military Saber and warned him to start with something safer.
• At 9:10 p.m., He Wenyuan urged Qiu Yongyan to step forward as the operation’s real commander while Class 7 was still fighting insects.

He Wenyuan led Qiu Yongyan to rescue seventeen Class 7 students trapped by Geometer Moths, while secretly planning to kill them and frame the disaster as a failed rescue. When He Wenyuan tried to stab him, Qiu Yongyan kicked him off the Warship and fired on him to stop him from taking control, leaving He Wenyuan badly injured and Qiu Yongyan in control of the ship.

• He Wenyuan brought the Warship toward the trapped students, but claimed his order for nearby classmates to help had gone unanswered, so Qiu Yongyan sent the coordinates himself.
• He Wenyuan blasted apart the stones protecting the seventeen students and privately planned to kill them before the others could arrive.
• He Wenyuan pretended to rescue the fleeing students while moving close behind Qiu Yongyan and drawing a Military Saber to stab him.
• Qiu Yongyan reflexively kicked He Wenyuan off the Warship when He Wenyuan struck his lower back with the saber.
• He Wenyuan tried to activate his Combat Suit and seize the Warship, but Qiu Yongyan fired Particle Pulse Cannon beams at him, leaving him injured on the ground and unable to take control.

Qiu Yongyan rescued his classmates after He Wenyuan attacked them, then avoided punishment when Fang Muyi let the class’s matching accounts and lack of evidence settle the dispute. In the real world, Qin Su confirmed he had no symptoms after eating a Giant Man-Eating Worm; back in the Comic World, he led Class 6 to a Lasbit Insect nest and waited as a moving sand dune caught the students’ attention.

• Qiu Yongyan left the injured He Wenyuan behind to rescue the seventeen classmates, and the group later collected Zhuang Fan’s remains and erased recordings that could implicate Qiu Yongyan.
• After He Wenyuan woke, Fang Muyi asked for evidence, and Qiu Yongyan and the others claimed He Wenyuan had attacked them and that they had been too busy surviving to help him.
• Fang Muyi treated the incident as a misunderstanding and dismissed Class 7, leaving He Wenyuan furious and unable to prove his accusation.
• Qin Su asked a doctor whether eating a Giant Man-Eating Worm would harm him, then returned to Class 6 and led its students toward a Lasbit Insect habitat.
• Qin Su reassured Class 6 that they had enough ammunition while secretly waiting for Ruan Chengye and additional warships to arrive; a student then spotted movement on a distant sand dune.

Qin Su identified the person buried in the sand as the escaped convict Ruan Chengye and lured him into attacking. As Ruan Chengye’s saber halted just short of Qin Su, Qin Su released a concentrated burst of Zerg pheromones from a concealed gland.

• Sophia spotted a person’s eyes beneath a Visual Helmet, and Qin Su recognized him as Ruan Chengye, not a missing Class 6 student.
• Qin Su approached Ruan Chengye while Class 6 watched from a safe distance, and Ruan Chengye tried to persuade him to return a system and cooperate as fellow Earthlings.
• Qin Su cut off Ruan Chengye’s claim that he and his classmates were fictional characters, then ordered Class 6 to withdraw five hundred meters.
• Qin Su told Ruan Chengye he would kill him, and Ruan Chengye lunged at him with a saber, hoping Qin Su’s death would free the system.
• As Ruan Chengye’s saber stopped ninety centimeters from Qin Su, Qin Su released the prepared pheromones from a gland.

Qin Su used his manufactured gland’s pheromones to overwhelm Ruan Chengye, then secretly confirmed his Earthling identity and the existence of 777 before Lasbit Insects burst from Ruan Chengye’s body. After leading Class 6 away, Qin Su spotted a huge force approaching and told his classmates it was on their side.

• Qin Su released powerful pheromones that incapacitated Ruan Chengye and allowed Qin Su to observe Lasbit Insects moving inside his eyes.
• Qin Su secretly told Ruan Chengye that He Wenyuan had been telling the truth, that Qin Su was an Earthling, and that he had the system 777.
• Ruan Chengye tried to activate his Combat Suit by calling Samuel, but Lasbit Insects burst from his body before he could finish.
• Qin Su led Class 6 away from Ruan Chengye and instructed hidden Warships to join them.
• Class 6 saw a vast mass approaching through the sky, and Qin Su reassured them that it was on their side.
