• Qin Su received his Star Coin reward, then left the ceremony and thought about acquiring military factories under another person’s name.
• Qiu Yongyan caught up with Qin Su and asked if Qin Su had warned him about He Wenyuan during the practical exercise; Qin Su said yes.

• Qin Su entered the training ground and ignored Halton, who waited for the crowd to settle before planning to approach him.
• Halton asked the students to make way, but Class 6 surrounded Qin Su protectively, preventing him from reaching him.

• Halton released increasingly powerful jasmine pheromones, but Qin Su showed no reaction, while He Muzhi and Cen Yuan struggled to endure the pressure.
• Qin Su told Halton that He Muzhi could help him achieve his ambitions if Halton let He Muzhi defeat him in sparring for the rest of his time at school.

Qin Su tested the 1st Brigade’s Zerg knowledge, organized intensive group study, and raised the pass rate through five exams. Meanwhile, he lured pirate crews to the Military Factory, and their disappearance threatened the Federation’s planned operation, leaving Greyliff considering whether Qin Su was responsible.

• Qin Su gave nearly thirty thousand students a three-hour Zerg knowledge exam, then assigned group study based on their scores and led the hundred lowest-scoring students himself.
• The 1st Brigade’s scores improved across five exams, raising its pass rate from thirty percent to sixty percent before Qin Su ended the study schedule.
• Qin Su used pirate accounts to bait crews into visiting the Military Factory, where Ghost security personnel captured them, while the factory refitted or recycled their ships and weapons.

• When Greyliff learned that no one could contact the pirates, Qiu Pang suggested that Qin Su might have eliminated them.

Qin Su trained the 1st Brigade in Mecha operation while secretly preparing to exploit the Federation’s corrupt Pirate Cleansing Plan. When Xuan Jingxi told him she suspected He Wenyuan’s death was suspicious, Qin Su asked what she would do if her father suffered an unfortunate accident.

• Qiu Pang suggested Qin Su might have eliminated the pirates, but Greyliff and the others dismissed the idea and assigned Norian to arrange their own version of the Pirate Cleansing Plan.

Xuan Jingxi agreed to help Qin Su erase her father’s identity and claim his Optical Brain if he died, while Qin Su trained the students and investigated the Federation’s pirate campaign. After the operation ended, Qin Su attacked Norian’s returning fleet disguised as a pirate and seized control of Norian’s spaceship.

• Xuan Jingxi told Qin Su how she would handle her father’s death and agreed to help him in the future; Qin Su confirmed that He Wenyuan could only be killed by He Muzhi.
• Qin Su questioned students about Mecha mistakes, making them take their training more seriously, then inspected the pirate-suppression campaign and recognized that the supposed pirates were condemned prisoners used as scapegoats.
• Norian distributed the operation’s spoils, while Qiu Pang reflected on his losses and the prisoners’ treatment; Qin Su prepared a pirate disguise and set out with several spaceships.
• Qin Su’s fleet ambushed Norian’s returning ships, and Qin Su forcibly took control of Norian’s vessel before announcing that Norian was surrounded.
• Norian laughed off Qin Su’s threat until the spaceship’s rear hatch opened and his expression froze.

Qin Su put the 1st Brigade through increasingly harsh simulated combat to prepare them for real battlefield dangers, while his classmates discovered that he had been controlling the terrifying Insect Kings. After three days of survival training and two days of rest, the students assembled for the Third Practical Exercise, but its location remained unknown until the school informed the commanders at two o’clock.

• Class 6 revealed that Qin Su had controlled the Insect Kings and other insects that killed students in the simulation, leaving the other classes shocked and embarrassed about their complaints.
• Qin Su began a four-hour simulation without a real countdown and withheld lunch, forcing the students to fight while hungry; He Muzhi and his squad were swallowed by Qin Su’s mimicry.
• Over the next week, Qin Su confiscated weapons and kept the students inside the simulated combat area for three days, where they had to find supplies and survive around the clock.
• Qin Su ended the month-long training, announced two days of rest, and told the students to assemble aboard their assigned spaceships on Monday for the Third Practical Exercise.
• At the Monday assembly, Zhang Minglang said the school had not yet revealed the exercise’s location or rules and would notify the two commanders at two o’clock.

Qin Su led the students to Micafoklai for the Third Practical Exercise, suspecting the school had set a trap. When the class disembarked onto a transparent platform, they discovered prisoners below staring up at them amid human remains, and the students recoiled in horror.

• Zhang Minglang dismissed Class 6 until their afternoon assembly, and the students followed Qin Su back to the dorms.
• At the Jump Point, Qin Su noticed the unusually large supply of weapons and assigned the ships among the classes before they departed for Micafoklai.
• Qin Su learned that Micafoklai was a prison for long-term inmates, then ordered everyone to stay seated during the jump and disembark together after landing.
• After the ships arrived at night, Qin Su ordered the students to inspect the platform and its surroundings without leaving it, then stepped onto its transparent surface.
• Qin Su saw crowds of prisoners beneath the platform holding human body parts, kept his expression composed, and called the students down; they looked below and screamed and retched.

Qin Su and Blumer’s brigades arrived at Maikafukelai and discovered the prisons beneath their Jump Point platforms, where inmates fought and ate one another. After Qin Su shared the prisoners’ outdoor schedule and the school finally sent the combat rules, he learned the freshmen had to clear a vast, dangerous jungle divided between the two battalions.

• Qin Su and Blumer’s students saw the horrifying prison battles below their Jump Point platforms, while corrosive rain burned the exposed skin of Qin Su’s classmates.
• Greyliff learned that the Fourth Military Academy’s Class of 26 had drawn Maikafukeclai Planet and ordered Qiu Pang to stop the exercise, but the president was away and the decision could not be reversed.
• Qin Su photographed the area and told Blumer that ten prisoners were allowed outdoors daily from noon to two; Blumer passed the warning to the 2nd Brigade and ordered them to rest.
• Qin Su checked that everyone was aboard, sealed the ship at midnight, and went out before dawn to photograph more of the surroundings.
• The school sent Qin Su the combat rules and map, revealing that the two battalions had to clear their assigned jungle regions and leave no more than five percent of the bugs behind.
